Abstract
Serine transhydroxymethylase of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum has been purified to within 95% of homogeneity. Activity was strictly dependent on tetrahydromethanopterin, tetrahydrofolate being unable to serve as the acceptor C1 units from l-serine. The native protein has a molecular weight of about 102,000 daltons. The enzyme shows maximal activity at 60°C, has a pH optimum of 8.1, and required pyridoxal-5′-phosphate and Mg2+ for optimal activity.
