Δ-aminolevulinic acid formation in the archaebacterium Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum requires tRNAGlu
Tóm tắt
By combining three fractions separated from cell extracts of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum (strain Marburg) synthesis of δ-aminolevulinic acid from glutamate was obtained. One of the required fractions contained two tRNAs which could be charged with glutamate and separated by high pressure liquid chromatography. Both supported the synthesis of δ-aminolevulinate. The formation of δ-aminolevulinate from glutamate or from glutamate 1-semialdehyde was inhibited by gabaculine. The conversion of glutamate to δ-aminolevulinate in Methanobacterium thus displays the same features as found in the chloroplasts of plants.
