Multiple formate dehydrogenase enzymes in the facultative methylotroph Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 are dispensable for growth on methanol.
Formate dehydrogenase has traditionally been assumed to play an essential role in energy generation during growth on C(1) compounds. However, this assumption has not yet been experimentally tested in methylotrophic bacteria. In this study, a whole-genome analysis approach was used to identify three different formate dehydrogenase systems in the facultative methylotroph Methylobacterium extorque...
متن کاملThe second subunit of methanol dehydrogenase of Methylobacterium extorquens AM1.
The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of a novel small (beta) subunit of methanol dehydrogenase of Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 (previously Pseudomonas AM1) has been determined. Work with the whole protein has shown that is has an alpha 2 beta 2 configuration.
متن کاملGlyoxylate regeneration pathway in the methylotroph Methylobacterium extorquens AM1.
Most serine cycle methylotrophic bacteria lack isocitrate lyase and convert acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) to glyoxylate via a novel pathway thought to involve butyryl-CoA and propionyl-CoA as intermediates. In this study we have used a genome analysis approach followed by mutation to test a number of genes for involvement in this novel pathway. We show that methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, an R-speci...
متن کاملThe NADP-dependent methylene tetrahydromethanopterin dehydrogenase in Methylobacterium extorquens AM1.
An NADP-dependent methylene tetrahydromethanopterin (H4MPT) dehydrogenase has recently been proposed to be involved in formaldehyde oxidation to CO2 in Methylobacterium extorquens AM1. We report here on the purification of this novel enzyme to apparent homogeneity. Via the N-terminal amino acid sequence, it was identified to be the mtdA gene product. The purified enzyme catalyzed the dehydrogen...
متن کاملNovel formaldehyde-activating enzyme in Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 required for growth on methanol.
Formaldehyde is toxic for all organisms from bacteria to humans due to its reactivity with biological macromolecules. Organisms that grow aerobically on single-carbon compounds such as methanol and methane face a special challenge in this regard because formaldehyde is a central metabolic intermediate during methylotrophic growth. In the alpha-proteobacterium Methylobacterium extorquens AM1, we...
