S-Adenosyl-L-methionine:demethylmacrocin O-methyltransferase catalyzes the conversion of demethylmacrocin to macrocin as the penultimate step of tylosin biosynthesis in Streptomyces fradiae. The O-methyltransferase was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by a conventional chromatographic procedure. The purified enzyme appears to be trimeric with a molecular weight of 122,000-126,000 and a subunit size of 42,000. Its isoelectric point was 6.0. The enzyme required Mg2+ for maximal activity and was catalytically optimal at pH 7.8-8.5 and 42 degrees C. The O-methyltransferase catalyzed conversion of demethylmacrocin to macrocin at a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1. The O-methyltransferase also mediated conversion of demethyllactenocin----lactenocin. The corresponding Vmax/Km ratios for the two analogous conversions varied only slightly. Both enzymic conversions were susceptible to an extensive and identical range of metabolic inhibitions. Steady-state kinetic studies for initial velocity, substrate analogue, and product inhibitions are consistent with Ordered Bi Bi as the reaction mechanism of demethylmacrocin O-methyltransferase. Except for an identical kinetic mechanism, demethylmacrocin O-methyltransferase can be readily differentiated from macrocin O-methyltransferase by its physical and catalytic properties as well as metabolic inhibitions. |
