Solution of the Serine pathway in Methylobacterium extorquens (50 year project) Situation in 1963 There must be a route for oxidation of acetylCoA to glyoxylate. An obvious route is to use the glyoxylate cycle but the key enzyme isocitrate is absent during growth on methanol (Large and Quayle 1963) Pat Dunstan (now Pat Goodwin). Showed that ICL is absent during growth on ethanol *** Isolation of unusual mutants: A project to isolate MDH mutants. Penicillin enrichment procedure isolated mutants unable to grow on C1 or C2 but able to grow on succinate. These should be unable to oxidise methanol and ethanol. No mutants in assimilation pathways should be selected as these pathways are different. Three types of mutant were isolated: MDH mutants. Cytochrome c mutants [unique, indicating the special role of cytochrome c in energy transduction from MDH]. A mutants with alteration in carbon assimilation pathways (PCT48) on C1 and C2 compounds showing there must be a common step in the pathway.

The assimilation of ethanol in M. extorquens by study of 14C-acetate assimilation After growth on Methanol early label was in glycollate (reflects early glyoxylate label) & citrate After growth on Ethanol early label was in glycine (reflects early glyoxylate label) & citrate SO; there is an unknown common route for rapid metabolism of acetylCoA to glyoxylate during growth on C1 and C2 substrates. In mutant 48 there was no rapid assimilation of acetate into glyoxylate (only citrate). This same route was shown to operate on propanediol, 3-hydroxybutyrate and lactate Problem: need to identify enzymes involved.

The shared pathway for methanol and ethanol assimilation

Pathways for growth of M. extorquens on substrates metabolized by way of acetyl-CoA, based on the work of Pat Dunstan, John Bolbot and Ian Taylor 12, 17-19, 21, 22. NB: only the carbon balance is illustrated. Red indicates pathway on C 1 compounds; blue indicates pathway on C 2 and related compounds. In short-term labeling experiments glycollate would arise by equilibration with glyoxylate. The growth substrates include ethanol, acetate (a poor substrate), 3-hydroxybutyrate, malonate, propanediol, lactate and pyruvate. Propanediol and ethanol are oxidized by methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) whose electron acceptor is cytochrome c L 16 ; there is no growth of mutants lacking these proteins. For oxidation of propanediol by MDH an additional modifier protein is required to alter its substrate specificity 22. Note that condensation of glyoxylate and acetyl-CoA to malate requires two enzymes: malyl-CoA lyase and malyl-CoA hydrolase.

Glyoxylate Regeneration Cycles Mila Chistaserdova and Mary Lidstrom as a result of their work using mutants and some biochemistry produced many complex pathways, called Glyoxylate Regeneration cycles’ The solution was finally obtained in the lab of Georg Fuchs in Friebourg by very thorough enzymology and complex labelling techniques. Erb, Berg, Alber, Spanheimer, Ebenau-Jehle and Fuchs. The EthylmalonylCoA pathway (EMC pathway) This was done for acetate assimilation in Rhodobacter sphaeroides but was soon shown to be the common pathway also involved in methanol and ethanol assimilation in M. extorquens. Most of the following slides are the Figures from my review: How half a century of research was required to understand bacterial growth on C1 and C2 compounds: the story of the Serine Cycle and the Ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway.

The glyoxylate regeneration cycle (GRC) for oxidation of acetyl-CoA in M. extorquens as proposed by Lidstrom, Chistoserdova and colleagues 27, Their papers should be consulted for details of the extensive experimental work, mainly using mutants and radioactive substrates that led to this [necessarily] speculative proposal. The compounds in italics were later shown to be intermediates in the ethylmalonyl-CoA (EMC) pathway. The solid arrows merely indicate proposed reactions (or series of reactions); they do not necessarily indicate that such reactions are known reactions.

The gene phaA encodes β-ketothiolase; phaB, acetoacetyl-CoA reductase; mch, mesaconyl- CoA hydratase; mcl1, L-malyl-CoA/β-methylmalyl-CoA lyase; pccAB, propionyl-CoA carboxylase and mcm encodes (R)-methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. Although the enzymes catalyzing the conversion of the C 4 compound 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA to the C 5 intermediate mesaconyl-CoA were not known at the time, it was suggested that this process probably involves a carboxylation step, as was subsequently demonstrated when the ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway was finally elucidated (Figs ). The ‘missing part’ of the pathway

The conversion of crotonyl-CoA to to mesaconyl-CoA depends on three novel enzymes: crotonyl-CoA carboxylase/reductase 44, (2R)-ethylmalonyl-CoA mutase 46 and (2)-methylsuccinyl-CoA dehydrogenase 47. The two forms of ethylmalonyl-CoA are interconverted by ethylmalonyl- CoA/methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase.

The serine/EMC cycle for assimilation of C 1 compounds by methylotrophs 44. The ethylmalonyl-CoA (EMC) pathway for oxidation of acetyl-CoA to glyoxylate (lower half) (Fig. 12) is coupled to the serine cycle as shown on Fig. 3 (upper half). This is taken from the 2007 paper of Erb et al. 44 but for convenience only the carbon skeletons are shown. Dotted lines indicate that more than one reaction step is involved. Note that if acetyl-CoA is required as the biosynthetic precursor of membrane fatty acids or the storage compound poly 3-hydroxybutyrate then the EMC pathway is not required for oxidation of acetyl-CoA to glyoxylate.

The left hand side from mesaconyl- CoA to succinyl-CoA remains an essential part of the serine pathway as it is now understood. This cycle has recently been shown by Ivan Berg and colleagues to operate in haloarchaea for assimilation of C 2 compounds 24. In the complete methylaspartate cycle the glyoxylate condenses with a second molecule of acetyl- CoA to give malate, the overall carbon balance being the same as the glyoxylate cycle (Fig. 1).
