METHYL-COENZYME M REDUCTASE FROM METHANOSARCINA BARKERI

Overview

The nickel enzyme methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) catalyzes the terminal, step of methane formation in the energy metabolism of all methanogenic, archaea. In this reaction methyl-coenzyme M and coenzyme B are converted, to methane and the heterodisulfide of coenzyme M and coenzyme B. The, crystal structures of methyl-coenzyme M reductase from Methanosarcina, barkeri (growth temperature optimum, 37 degrees C) and Methanopyrus, kandleri (growth temperature optimum, 98 degrees C) were determined and, compared with the known structure of MCR from Methanobacterium, thermoautotrophicum (growth temperature optimum, 65 degrees C). The active, sites of MCR from M. barkeri and M. kandleri were almost identical to that, of M. thermoautotrophicum and predominantly occupied by coenzyme M and, ... [(full description)]
