Abstract：
:Tetrahydrofolate was shown to function as a methyl acceptor in the anaerobic demethylation of dimethylsulfoniopropionate to methylthiopropionate in cell extracts of the sulfate-reducing bacterium strain WN. Dimethylsulfoniopropionate-dependent activities were 0.56 micromol methyltetrahydrofolate min-1 (mg protein)-1 and were higher than required to explain the growth rate of strain WN on dimethylsulfoniopropionate. The reaction did not require ATP or reductive activation by titanium(III)-nitrilotriacetic acid. Preincubation of the extract under air significantly decreased the activity (35% loss in 3 h). Three other dimethylsulfoniopropionate-demethylating sulfate reducers, Desulfobacterium niacini, Desulfobacterium vacuolatum, and Desulfobacterium strain PM4, had dimethylsulfoniopropionate:tetrahydrofolate methyltransferase activities of 0.16, 0.05, and 0.24 micromol min-1 (mg protein)-1, respectively. No methyltransferase activity to tetrahydrofolate was found with betaine as a substrate, not even in extracts of betaine-grown cells of these sulfate reducers. Dimethylsulfoniopropionate demethylation in cell extracts of strain WN was completely inhibited by 0.5 mM propyl iodide; in the light, the inhibition was far less strong, indicating involvement of a corrinoid-dependent methyltransferase.
