Reduction of methionine sulfoxide to methionine by Escherichia coli.
L-Methionine-dl-sulfoxide can support the growth of an Escherichia coli methionine auxotroph, suggesting the presence of an enzyme(s) capable of reducing the sulfoxide to methionine. This was verified by showing that a cell-free extract of E. coli catalyzes the conversion of methionine sulfoxide to methionine. This reaction required reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate and a gene...
متن کاملMethionine Requirement and Commercial Methionine Sources in Growing Pigs
Methionine is a limiting amino acid in commercial swine diets and commonly supplemented as dry DL-methionine (DL-Met, 99%) or as liquid DL-methionine hydroxy analogue-free acid (liquid MHA-FA, containing 88% of active substance). New and intriguing research has been published in poultry and swine as to what is the nutritional effectiveness of liquid MHA-FA relative to DLMet, and what are the re...
متن کاملBioavailability comparison between herbal methionine and DL-methionine on growth performance and immunocompetence basis in broiler chickens
BACKGROUND:Herbal methionine can be compared relative toDl-methionine with evaluation of bioavailability of this source ofmethionine. OBJECTIVES: An experiment was carried out todetermine the relative bioefficacy of herbal methionine (H-Met)®relative to DL-methionine (DL-Met) on performance criteria andimmunocompetence of Met sources in male broilers. Atotal of 160male broilers were fed a Met-d...
متن کاملOxidation of cysteine 645 of cobalamin-independent methionine synthase causes a methionine limitation in Escherichia coli.
Cobalamin-independent methionine synthase (MetE) catalyzes the final step in Escherichia coli methionine biosynthesis but is inactivated under oxidative conditions, triggering a methionine deficiency. This study demonstrates that the mutation of MetE cysteine 645 to alanine completely eliminates the methionine auxotrophy imposed by diamide treatment, suggesting that modulation of MetE activity ...
متن کاملEffects of deregulation of methionine biosynthesis on methionine excretion in Escherichia coli.
Several regulators of methionine biosynthesis have been reported in Escherichia coli, which might represent barriers to the production of excess l-methionine (Met). In order to examine the effects of these factors on Met biosynthesis and metabolism, deletion mutations of the methionine repressor (metJ) and threonine biosynthetic (thrBC) genes were introduced into the W3110 wild-type strain of E...
