Elucidation of methanogenic coenzyme biosyntheses: from spectroscopy to genomics

Elucidation of methanogenic coenzyme biosyntheses: from spectroscopy to genomics Covering: 1971–2001Methanogenesis, the anaerobic production of methane from CO or simple carbon compounds, requires seven organic coenzymes. This review describes pathways for the biosynthesis of methanofuran, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydromethanopterin, coenzyme F, coenzyme M (2-mercaptoethanesulfonic acid) and coenzyme B (7-mercaptoheptanoyl--threonine phosphate). Spectroscopic evidence for the pathways is reviewed and recent efforts are described to identify and characterize the biosynthetic enzymes from methanogenic archaea. The literature from 1971 to September 2001 is reviewed, and 169 references are cited. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Natural Product Reports Royal Society of Chemistry

Abstract

Covering: 1971–2001Methanogenesis, the anaerobic production of methane from CO or simple carbon compounds, requires seven organic coenzymes. This review describes pathways for the biosynthesis of methanofuran, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydromethanopterin, coenzyme F, coenzyme M (2-mercaptoethanesulfonic acid) and coenzyme B (7-mercaptoheptanoyl--threonine phosphate). Spectroscopic evidence for the pathways is reviewed and recent efforts are described to identify and characterize the biosynthetic enzymes from methanogenic archaea. The literature from 1971 to September 2001 is reviewed, and 169 references are cited.
