Nucleotide sequence of the metH gene of Escherichia coli K-12 and comparison with that of Salmonella typhimurium LT2.

The Escherichia coli K-12 metH gene, encoding the vitamin B12-dependent homocysteine transmethylase, is located between iclR and lysC in the 91-min region of the chromosome. The metH gene has been sequenced and reveals an open reading frame of 3600 bp encoding a polypeptide of 1200 amino acids (aa) with a calculated Mr of 132 628. The first 414 aa of the deduced polypeptide sequence are 92% identical to the 414 aa deduced from the partially sequenced Salmonella typhimurium LT2 metH gene. In-frame fusions of metH to lacZ were used to confirm the reading frame of the metH gene and to study its regulation. metH was repressed tenfold, presumably indirectly, by L-methionine and the metJ gene product, while vitamin B12 did not induce de novo synthesis of MetH.[1]
