J. Kremer et al., DIFFERENTIAL IN-VITRO METHYLATION AND SYNTHESIS OF THE 480-KILODALTONCORRINOID PROTEIN IN METHANOSARCINA-BARKERI GROWN ON DIFFERENT SUBSTRATES, Journal of bacteriology, 176(1), 1994, pp. 253-255
The 480-kDa corrinoid protein was significantly methylated in extracts
of acetate- but not methanol-grown cells incubated with (CH3OH)-C-14,
in part because of its decreased synthesis in cells grown on substrat
es other than acetate. In addition, a 200-kDa corrinoid protein was me
thylated in extracts of methanol- but not acetate-grown cells.
