Abstract excerpt
Biosynthesis of methionine from homoserine in Pseudomonas putida takes place in three steps. The first step is the acylation of homoserine to yield an acyl-L-homoserine. This reaction is catalyzed by the products of the metXW genes and is equivalent to the first step in enterobacteria, gram-positive bacteria and fungi, except that in these microorganisms the reaction is catalyzed by a single polypeptide (the...
