D-erythro-neopterin biosynthesis in the methanogenic archaea Methanococcus thermophila and Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum deltaH.
The steps in the biosynthetic transformation of GTP to 7,8-dihydro-D-erythro-neopterin (H2neopterin), the precursor to the modified folates found in the methanogenic archaea, has been elucidated for the first time in two members of the domain Archaea. In Methanococcus thermophila and Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum deltaH, it has been demonstrated that H2neopterin 2':3'-cyclic phosphate is...
متن کاملCharacterization of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum Marburg mutants defective in regulation of L-tryptophan biosynthesis.
Three nitrosoguanidine-induced mutants of the archaeon Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum Marburg resistant to 5-methyltryptophan were isolated and characterized. They were found to take up L-tryptophan, as wild-type cells, via an energy-dependent, low-affinity transport system specific for L-tryptophan, with a Km of 300 microM and a Vmax of 7 nmol/mg (dry weight)/min. Resistance to 5-methylt...
متن کاملTFE, an archaeal transcription factor in Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum related to eucaryal transcription factor TFIIEalpha.
In the archaeon Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, MTH1669 encodes a protein with a sequence related to the N-terminal sequences of the alpha-subunits of eucaryal general transcription factor TFIIE. The recombinant MTH1669 gene product has been purified and shown to stimulate transcription in vitro from M. thermoautotrophicum promoters that were almost inactive or much less active in reactio...
متن کاملOrigin of hydrogen in methane produced by Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum.
The production of deuterated methane by Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum in H2O-D2O mixtures was examined by high-resolution mass spectrometry. The hydrogen in the methane arose solely from water and not from hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas served only as an electron source in methanogenesis. A whole-cell product isotope discrimination of 1.5 favoring hydrogen over deuterium was observed in meth...
متن کاملEnrichment of Thermophilic Propionate-Oxidizing Bacteria in Syntrophy with Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum or Methanobacterium thermoformicicum.
Thermophilic propionate-oxidizing, proton-reducing bacteria were enriched from the granular methanogenic sludge of a bench-scale upflow anaerobic sludge bed reactor operated at 55 degrees C with a mixture of volatile fatty acids as feed. Thermophilic hydrogenotrophic methanogens had a high decay rate. Therefore, stable, thermophilic propionate-oxidizing cultures could not be obtained by using t...
