摘要

The enzyme serine transhydroxymethylase (EC 2.1.2.1; L-serine:tetrahydrofolate-5,10-hydroxymethyltransferase) is responsible both for the synthesis of glycine from serine and production of the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate necessary as a methyl donor for methionine synthesis. Two mutants selected for alteration in serine transhydroxymethylase regulation also have phenotypes characteristic of metK (methionine regulatory) mutants, including ethionine, norleucine, and alpha-methylmethionine resistance and reduced levels of S-adenosylmethionine synthetase (EC 2.5.1.6; adenosine 5'-triphosphate:L-methionine S-adenosyltransferase) activity. Because this suggested the existence of a common regulatory component, the regulation of serine transhydroxymethylase was examined in other methionine regulatory mutants (metK and metJ mutants). Normally, serine transhydroxymethylase levels are repressed three- to sixfold in cells grown in the presence of serine, glycine, methionine, adenine, guanine, and thymine. This does not occur in metK and metJ mutants; thus, these mutations do affect the regulation of both serine transhydroxymethylase and the methionine biosynthetic enzymes. Lesions in the metK gene have been reported to reduce S-adenosylmethionine synthetase levels. To determine whether the metK gene actually encodes for S-adenosylmethionine synthetase, a mutant was characterized in which this enzyme has a 26-fold increased apparent Km for methionine. This mutation causes a phenotype associated with metK mutants and is cotransducible with the serA locus at the same frequency as metK lesions. Thus, the affect of metK mutations on the regulation of glycine and methionine synthesis in Salmonella typhimurium appears to be due to either an altered S-adenosylmethionine synthetase or altered S-adenosylmethionine pools.
