ABSTRACT
We report that
cobC
strains of
Salmonella enterica
serovar Typhimurium are impaired in the ability to salvage cobyric acid (Cby), a de novo corrin ring biosynthetic intermediate, under aerobic growth conditions. In vivo and in vitro evidence support the conclusion that this new phenotype of
cobC
strains is due to the inability of serovar Typhimurium to dephosphorylate adenosylcobalamin-5′-phosphate (AdoCbl-5′-P), the product of the condensation of α-ribazole-5′-phosphate (α-RP) and adenosylcobinamide-GDP by the AdoCbl-5′-P synthase (CobS, EC 2.7.8.26) enzyme. Increased flux through the 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole and cobinamide (Cbi) activation branches of the nucleotide loop assembly pathway in
cobC
strains restored AdoCbl-5′-P synthesis from Cby in a
cobC
strain. The rate of the CobS-catalyzed reaction was at least 2 orders of magnitude higher with α-RP than with α-ribazole as substrate. On the basis of the data reported herein, we conclude that removal of the phosphoryl group from AdoCbl-5′-P is the last step in AdoCbl biosynthesis in serovar Typhimurium and that the reaction is catalyzed by the AdoCbl-5′-P phosphatase (CobC) enzyme. Explanations for the correction of the Cby salvaging phenotype are discussed.
摘要
我们报告了
cobC
菌株的
肠炎沙门氏菌
血清伤寒沙门氏菌的 cobC 菌株在有氧生长条件下挽救从头开始的珊瑚酸环生物合成中间体 cobyric acid (Cby) 的能力受损。体内和体外证据都支持这样的结论,即这种新的
cobC
菌株的这一新表型是由于 Typhimurium 血清不能通过 AdoCbl-5′-P 合成酶(CobS,EC 2.7.8.26)酶。通过核苷酸环组装途径的 5,6-二甲基苯并咪唑和钴酰胺(Cbi)活化分支的通量在
cobC
菌株中通过 5,6-二甲基苯并咪唑和钴氨酰胺(Cbi)激活核苷酸环组装途径分支的通量增加,恢复了 Cby 在
cobC
菌株中 Cby 的 AdoCbl-5′-P 合成。以 α-RP 为底物的 CobS 催化反应速率比以 α-ribazole 为底物的 CobS 催化反应速率至少高 2 个数量级。根据本文报告的数据,我们得出结论:从 AdoCbl-5′-P 中去除磷酸基是 Typhimurium 血清中 AdoCbl 生物合成的最后一步,该反应由 AdoCbl-5′-P 磷酸酶(CobC)催化。讨论了纠正 Cby 挽救表型的原因。
