Structural elements of bactopterin from Pseudomonas carboxydoflava carbon monoxide dehydrogenase
Authors:B Krüger  O Meyer
Abstract:
Bactopterin is a novel pterin occurring in bacterial molybdoenzymes as the organic portion of the molybdenum cofactor. Its structure is investigated here. The compound contains a single pterin ring and carries a side chain at carbon atom 6 of the pterin nucleus as indicated by the formation of pterin-6-carboxylic acid upon alkaline permanganate oxidation. Studies with phosphate-cleaving enzymes revealed the presence of two monophosphoric acid monoesters. The affinity of reduced bactopterin for thiol-Sepharose points to the presence of thiol(s) in active bactopterin.
