Abstract
The methanogenic archaeon Methanosarcina barkeri synthesizes protoheme via precorrin-2, which is formed from uroporphyrinogen III in two consecutive methylation reactions utilizing S-adenosyl-l-methionine. The existence of this pathway, previously exclusively found in the sulfate-reducing δ-proteobacterium Desulfovibrio vulgaris, was demonstrated for M. barkeri via the incorporation of two methyl groups from methionine into protoheme.
