The gene NT01CX_1210 of pathogenic bacterium Clostridium novyi annotated as encoding O-acetylhomoserine sulfhydrylase was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The gene product having O-acetylhomoserine sulfhydrylase activity was purified to homogeneity. The protein showed molecular mass of approximately 184 kDa for the native form and 46 kDa for the subunit. The enzyme catalyzes the γ-substitution reaction of O-acetylhomoserine with maximum activity at pH 7.5. Analysis of C. novyi genome allowed us to suggest that there is only one way for the synthesis of l-methionine in the bacterium. The data obtained may provide the basis for further study of the role of OAHS in Clostridium bacteria and an ascertainment of its mechanism.
致病性细菌诺维梭菌的基因 NT01CX_1210 被注释为编码 O-乙酰高丝氨酸硫内酯酶，该基因在大肠杆菌中被克隆和表达。具有 O-乙酰高丝氨酸硫内酯酶活性的基因产物被纯化至均一状态。该蛋白的天然形式的分子量约为 184 kDa，亚基的分子量约为 46 kDa。该酶催化 O-乙酰高丝氨酸的γ取代反应，在 pH 7.5 时具有最大活性。对诺维梭菌基因组的分析使我们推测，在该细菌中只有一种合成 l-蛋氨酸的途径。获得的数据可能为进一步研究 OAHS 在梭菌中的作用及其机制提供依据。
