Succinate (or a product of succinate metabolism) is a catabolite repressor of some enzymes of the serine pathway (hydroxypyruvate reductase, serine-glyoxylate aminotransferase and glycerate kinase) but not of methanol dehydrogenase nor methylamine dehydrogenase. A mutant (PCT64) of Pseudomonas AM1, which is unable to grow on C(1) compounds, lacks glycerate kinase, showing that this enzyme is essential for the operation of the serine pathway. Mutant PCT48, unable to convert acetate into glycollate, has lost the ability to grow both on C(1) compounds and on ethanol. The properties of a third mutant (PCT57) show that Pseudomonas AM1 contains enzymes catalysing the conversion of acetate into glyoxylate. Evidence is presented that hydroxypyruvate reductase is involved in the oxidation of glycollate to glyoxylate during growth on ethanol. A scheme is proposed for the conversion of ethanol and of C(1) compounds into glyoxylate in which acetate (or a derivative) and glycollate are intermediates.
琥珀酸(或琥珀酸代谢产物)是丝氨酸途径某些酶(羟基丙酮酸还原酶、丝氨酸-乙醛酸转氨酶和甘油酸激酶)的分解代谢阻遏物,但不是甲醇脱氢酶和甲胺脱氢酶的分解代谢阻遏物。不能在C(1)化合物上生长的假单胞菌AM1突变体(PCT64)缺乏甘油酸激酶,这表明该酶对丝氨酸途径的运行至关重要。无法将乙酸盐转化为乙醇酸的突变体PCT48失去了在C(1)化合物和乙醇上生长的能力。第三个突变体(PCT57)的特性表明,假单胞菌AM1含有催化乙酸盐转化为乙醛酸的酶。有证据表明,羟基丙酮酸还原酶在乙醇生长过程中参与乙醇酸氧化为乙醛酸的过程。提出了一个将乙醇和C(1)化合物转化为乙醛酸的方案,其中乙酸盐(或衍生物)和乙醇酸是中间体。
