Aspects of glycine and serine biosynthesis during growth of Pseudomonas AM1 on C compounds.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Methanol or formate can replace serine or glycine as supplements for growth on succinate of the auxotrophic mutants 20S and 82G of Pseudomonas AM1, showing that the organism can synthesize glycine and serine in net fashion from C(1) units. 2. Double mutants of Pseudomonas 20S and 82G have been prepared (20ST-1 and 82GT-1) that are unable to grow on succinate+1mm-glyoxylate, succinate+2mm-methanol or methanol alone. 3. Mutants 20ST-1 and 82GT-1 lacked serine-glyoxylate aminotransferase activity, and revertants to the phenotype of 20S and 82G regained serine-glyoxylate aminotransferase activity. A total revertant of 82GT-1 to wild-type phenotype regained activities of serine hydroxymethyltransferase and serine-glyoxylate aminotransferase. 4. The activity of serine-glyoxylate aminotransferase in methanol-grown Pseudomonas AM1 is eightfold higher than in the succinate-grown organism. 5. The combined results show that in Pseudomonas AM1 serine-glyoxylate aminotransferase is necessary for growth on C(1) compounds and is involved in the conversion of methanol into glycine via glyoxylate. 6. It is suggested that the phosphorylated pathway of serine biosynthesis from phosphoglycerate replenishes the supply of alpha-amino groups necessary for the flow of glyoxylate through the main assimilatory pathway during growth on C(1) compounds.

Glycine formation during growth of Pseudomonas AM1 on methanol and succinate.
1. The mechanism of regeneration of glycine during the growth of Pseudomonas AM1 on C(1) compounds has been investigated by brief incubation of bacterial suspensions with [2,3-(14)C(2)]succinate and observing the incorporation of radioactivity into various metabolites. 2. With the wild-type organism growing on methanol, radioactivity appeared rapidly in glycine and tricarboxylic acid-cycle inte...

1. Malyl-CoA lyase was found in high activity in extracts of Pseudomonas AM1, Pseudomonas MA, Pseudomonas MS, Hyphomicrobium X and Methylosinus trichosporium. 2. The enzyme cleaves (2S)-malyl-CoA into equimolar amounts of acetyl-CoA and glyoxylate in the presence of Mg(2+). 3. The specific activity of malyl-CoA lyase was several-fold higher in Pseudomonas AM1 when grown on C(1) compounds than w...

1. A mutant, 20S, of P8eudomona8 AM 1 was obtained that requires a supplement of serine to grow on succinate, lactate or ethanol. This mutant lacks phosphoserine phosphatase and revertants to wild-type phenotype regained this enzymic activity showing that the phosphorylated pathway of serine biosynthesis is necessary for growth on these three substrates. 2. The requirement for supplemental seri...
متن کاملOxalyl-coenzyme A reduction to glyoxylate is the preferred route of oxalate assimilation in Methylobacterium extorquens AM1.
Oxalate catabolism is conducted by phylogenetically diverse organisms, including Methylobacterium extorquens AM1. Here, we investigate the central metabolism of this alphaproteobacterium during growth on oxalate by using proteomics, mutant characterization, and (13)C-labeling experiments. Our results confirm that energy conservation proceeds as previously described for M. extorquens AM1 and oth...

Methylobacterium extorquens AM1, a serine cycle facultative methylotroph, accumulates poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) as a carbon and energy reserve material during growth on both multicarbon- and single-carbon substrates. Recently, the identification and mutation of the genes involved in the biosynthesis and degradation of PHB have been described for this bacterium, demonstrating that two of t...
