Analogs of 1-phosphonooxy-2,2-dihydroxy-3-oxo-5-(methylthio)pentane, an acyclic intermediate in the methionine salvage pathway: a new preparation and characterization of activity with E1 enolase/phosphatase from Klebsiella oxytoca.

چکیده

The methionine salvage pathway allows the in vivo recovery of the methylthio moiety of methionine upon the formation of methylthioadenosine (MTA) from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). The Fe(II)-containing form of acireductone dioxygenase (ARD) catalyzes the penultimate step in the pathway in Klebsiella oxytoca, the oxidative cleavage of the acireductone 1,2-dihydroxy-3-oxo-5-(methylthio)pent-1-ene (2) by dioxygen to give formate and 2-oxo-4-(methylthio)butyrate (3). The Ni(II)-bound form (Ni-ARD) catalyzes an off-pathway shunt, forming 3-(methylthio)propionate (4), carbon monoxide, and formate. Acireductone 2 is formed by the action of another enzyme, E1 enolase/phosphatase, on precursor 1-phosphonooxy-2,2-dihydroxy-3-oxo-5-methylthiopentane (1). Simple syntheses of several analogs of 1 are described, and their activity as substrates for E1 enolase/phosphatase characterized. A new bacterial overexpression system and purification procedure for E1, a member of the haloacid dehalogenase (HAD) superfamily, is described, and further characterization of the enzyme presented.

Functional Identification of APIP as Human mtnB, a Key Enzyme in the Methionine Salvage Pathway

The methionine salvage pathway is widely distributed among some eubacteria, yeast, plants and animals and recycles the sulfur-containing metabolite 5-methylthioadenosine (MTA) to methionine. In eukaryotic cells, the methionine salvage pathway takes place in the cytosol and usually involves six enzymatic activities: MTA phosphorylase (MTAP, EC 2.4.2.28), 5'-methylthioribose-1-phosphate isomerase...

Synergistic activity of 5-trifluoromethylthioribose and inhibitors of methionine synthesis against Klebsiella pneumoniae.

5-Methylthioribose (MTR) is an intermediate in the methionine recycling pathway of organisms containing the enzyme MTR kinase. Analogs of MTR have been proposed as a new class of antimicrobial agents because of their ability to perturb the growth of MTR kinase-containing pathogens through inhibition of methionine salvage or by conversion to toxic products. One such analog, 5-trifluoromethylthio...

MtnBD Is a Multifunctional Fusion Enzyme in the Methionine Salvage Pathway of Tetrahymena thermophila

To recycle reduced sulfur to methionine in the methionine salvage pathway (MSP), 5-methylthioribulose-1-phosphate is converted to 2-keto-4-methylthiobutyrate, the methionine precursor, by four steps; dehydratase, enolase, phosphatase, and dioxygenase reactions (catalyzed by MtnB, MtnW, MtnX and MtnD, respectively, in Bacillus subtilis). It has been proposed that the MtnBD fusion enzyme in Tetra...

Detection of magA Gene in Klebsiella spp. Isolated from Clinical Samples

  Objective(s): Klebsiella infections are caused mainly by K. pneumoniae and K. oxytoca. In the last two decades, a new type of invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae which contains mucoviscosity-associated gene (magA) has emerged. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of magA gene and to detect antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Klebsiella   spp. isolated from clinical samples....

Microbial pathway for anaerobic 5′-methylthioadenosine metabolism coupled to ethylene formation

Numerous cellular processes involving S-adenosyl-l-methionine result in the formation of the toxic by-product, 5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA). To prevent inhibitory MTA accumulation and retain biologically available sulfur, most organisms possess the "universal" methionine salvage pathway (MSP). However, the universal MSP is inherently aerobic due to a requirement of molecular oxygen for one of t...
