Zusammenfassung
A lambda-transducing phage was isolated that contains the metE gene. This gene codes for N5-methyl-H4-folate:homocysteine methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.14), an enzyme that catalyzes the terminal reaction in methionine biosynthesis. A 9.1-kb EcoR1 fragment of this phage, containing the metE gene, was then cloned into pBR325. This plasmid, pJ19, was used to transform Escherichia coli strain 2276, a metE mutant, and restore the MetE+ phenotype. Although the transformed cells produced large amounts of the metE protein in vivo, in vitro studies using pJ19 as template showed low synthesis of the metE protein.
