A Bacillus megaterium DNA fragment encoding S-adenosyl-L-methionine:uroporphyrinogen III methyltransferase (SUMT) activity was subcloned and sequenced. The encoded polypeptide showed more than 43.5% strict homology to Pseudomonas denitrificans SUMT (F. Blanche, L. Debussche, D. Thibaut, J. Crouzet, and B. Cameron, J. Bacteriol. 171:4222-4231, 1989). The B. megaterium polypeptide was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, partially purified, and shown to exhibit, like P. denitrificans SUMT, substrate inhibition at uroporphyrinogen III concentrations above 0.5 microM, suggesting a common regulation for aerobic cobalamin-producing organisms.
一个编码S-腺苷-L-甲硫氨酸:尿卟啉原III甲基转移酶(SUMT)活性的巨大芽孢杆菌DNA片段被亚克隆并测序。编码的多肽与反硝化假单胞菌SUMT显示出超过43.5%的严格同源性(F.布兰奇、L.德布舍、D.蒂博、J.克鲁泽和B.卡梅隆,《细菌学杂志》171:4222 - 4231,1989年)。巨大芽孢杆菌多肽在大肠杆菌中过表达,部分纯化,并显示出与反硝化假单胞菌SUMT一样,在尿卟啉原III浓度高于0.5微摩尔时表现出底物抑制,这表明需氧钴胺素产生菌存在共同的调控机制。
