Characterization of a three-component vanillate O-demethylase from Moorella thermoacetica.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Moorella thermoacetica aromatic O-demethylase was characterized as an inducible three-component system with similarity to the methanogenic methanol, methylamine, and methanethiol methyltransferases and to the O-demethylase system from Acetobacterium dehalogenans. MtvB catalyzes methyl transfer from a phenylmethylether to the cobalt center of MtvC, a corrinoid protein. MtvA catalyzes transmethylation from MtvC to tetrahydrofolate, forming methyltetrahydrofolate. Cobalamin can substitute for MtvC.

Expression and substrate range of Streptomyces vanillate demethylase.
Vanillate is converted to protocatechuate by an O-demethylase consisting of VanA and VanB in Streptomyces sp. NL15-2K. In this study, vanillate demethylase from this strain was functionally expressed in Escherichia coli, and its substrate range for vanillate analogs was determined by an in vivo assay using recombinant whole cells. Among aromatic methyl ethers, vanillate, syringate, m-anisate, a...
متن کاملInvestigating Moorella thermoacetica metabolism with a genome-scale constraint-based metabolic model.
Moorella thermoacetica is a strictly anaerobic, endospore-forming, and metabolically versatile acetogenic bacterium capable of conserving energy by both autotrophic (acetogenesis) and heterotrophic (homoacetogenesis) modes of metabolism. Its metabolic diversity and the ability to efficiently convert a wide range of compounds, including syngas (CO + H2) into acetyl-CoA have made this thermophili...
متن کاملTolerance and metabolic response of acetogenic bacteria toward oxygen.
The acetogens Sporomusa silvacetica, Moorella thermoacetica, Clostridium magnum, Acetobacterium woodii, and Thermoanaerobacter kivui (i) grew in both semisolid and liquid cultivation media containing O(2) and (ii) consumed small amounts of O(2). Low concentrations of O(2) caused a lag phase in growth but did not alter the ability of these acetogens to synthesize acetate via the acetyl coenzyme ...
متن کاملA reversible electron-bifurcating ferredoxin- and NAD-dependent [FeFe]-hydrogenase (HydABC) in Moorella thermoacetica.
Moorella thermoacetica was long the only model organism used to study the biochemistry of acetogenesis from CO(2). Depending on the growth substrate, this Gram-positive bacterium can either form H(2) or consume it. Despite the importance of H(2) in its metabolism, a hydrogenase from the organism has not yet been characterized. We report here the purification and properties of an electron-bifurc...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of oxalate oxidoreductase, a novel thiamine pyrophosphate-dependent 2-oxoacid oxidoreductase that enables anaerobic growth on oxalate.
Moorella thermoacetica is an anaerobic acetogen, a class of bacteria that is found in the soil, the animal gastrointestinal tract, and the rumen. This organism engages the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway of anaerobic CO(2) fixation for heterotrophic or autotrophic growth. This paper describes a novel enzyme, oxalate oxidoreductase (OOR), that enables M. thermoacetica to grow on oxalate, which is produce...
