Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b | P27353 and P27355 and P27354 and P27356 and Q53563 and Q53562 | P27353 (alpha/MmoX), P27355 (gamma/MmoZ), P27354 (beta/MmoY), P27356 (MmoB), Q53563 (MmoC), Q53562 (MmoD). The soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) consists of four components A/MMOH (composed of alpha/MmoX, beta/MmoY and gamma/MmoZ), B/MMOB (MmoB), C/MMOR (MmoC) and D/MMOD (MmoD) | - |

Organism | Comment | Expression |
---|---|---|
Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b | soluble, methane monooxygenase (sMMO) is expressed and active in the presence of copper if gold is also simultaneously present. Such expression is due to gold binding to methanobactin produced by Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b, thereby limiting copper uptake. Such expression and activity is significantly reduced if methanobactin preloaded with copper is also added. Both soluble, methane monooxygenase (sMMO) and particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) can be expressed when copper and gold are present, as gold effectively competes with copper for binding to methanobactin. Under certain geochemical conditions, both forms of methane monooxygenase may be expressed and active in situ | up |
