RESUMO
When grown on methylated amines as a carbon source, Methylophilus methylotrophus synthesizes an electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) which is the natural electron acceptor of trimethylamine dehydrogenase. It is composed of two dissimilar subunits of 38,000 and 42,000 daltons and 1 mol of flavin adenine dinucleotide. It was reduced by trimethylamine dehydrogenase to a stable anionic semiquinone form, which could not be converted, either enzymatically or chemically, to the fully reduced dihydroquinone. This ETF exhibited spectral properties which were nearly identical to ETFs from bacterium W3A1, Paracoccus denitrificans, and pig liver mitochondria. M. methylotrophus ETF cross-reacted immunologically and enzymatically with the ETF of bacterium W3A1 but not with the other two ETFs. In M. methylotrophus and bacterium W3A1, ETF and trimethylamine dehydrogenase were each expressed during growth on trimethylamine and were each absent during growth on methanol.
