The metal centres of particulate methane mono-oxygenase.
نویسنده
چکیده
pMMO (particulate methane mono-oxygenase) is an integral membrane metalloenzyme that catalyses the oxidation of methane to methanol. The pMMO metal active site has not been identified, precluding detailed investigation of the reaction mechanism. Models for the metal centres proposed by various research groups have evolved as crystallographic and spectroscopic data have become available. The present review traces the evolution of these active-site models before and after the 2005 Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) pMMO crystal structure determination.

Properties and partial purification of the methane-oxidising enzyme system from Methylosinus trichosporium.
The nature of the initial enzymic attack on methane by obligate methylotrophs has attracted considerable research effort in recent years. Strong evidence for oxygenase involvement came from 180 experiments which demonstrated that the oxygen in methanol, excreted by washed suspensions of Medzanomonas methanooxidans and Pseudomonas methanica, incubated under methane + oxygen mixtures was derived ...
متن کاملSteady-state kinetic analysis of soluble methane mono-oxygenase from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath).
A steady-state kinetic analysis of purified soluble methane mono-oxygenase of Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) was performed. The enzyme was found to follow a concerted-substitution mechanism. Methane binds to the enzyme followed by NADH, which reacts to yield reduced enzyme and NAD+. The reduced enzyme-methane complex binds O2 to give a second ternary complex, which breaks down to release water...
متن کاملSoluble Methane Mono-oxygenase of Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath)
1. Methane mono-oxygenase of Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) catalyses the oxidation of various substituted methane derivatives including methanol. 2. It is a very non-specific oxygenase and, in some of its catalytic properties, apparently resembles the analogous enzyme from Methylomonas methanica but differs from those found in Methylosinus trichosporium and Methylomonas albus. 3. CO is oxidiz...
متن کاملA stopped-flow kinetic study of soluble methane mono-oxygenase from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath).
1. The roles of the three protein components of soluble methane mono-oxygenase were investigated by the use of rapid-reaction techniques. The transfer of electrons through the enzyme complex from NADH to methane/O2 was also investigated. 2. Electron transfer from protein C, the reductase component, to protein A, the hydroxylase component, was demonstrated. Protein C was shown to undergo a three...
متن کاملPurification and properties of the methane mono-oxygenase enzyme system from Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b.
1. A three-component enzyme system that catalyses the oxidation of methane to methanol has been highly purified from Methylosinus trichosporium. 2. The components are (i) a soluble CO-binding cytochrome c, (ii) a copper-containing protein and (iii) a small protein; the mol. wts. are 13 000, 47 000 and 9400 respectively. The cytochrome component cannot be replaced by similar cytochrome purified ...
