| Abstract | The conversion of succinyl-coenzyme A (CoA) into methylmalonyl-CoA, catalyzed by adenosylcobalamin-dependent methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM), represents an important source of building blocks for rifamycin SV biosynthesis. The structural gene for MCM from rifamycin SV—producing strain Amycolatopsis mediterranei U32 was isolated by using a heterologous gene probe encoding the MCM of Streptomyces cinnamonensis. A 7.8-kbp fragment was sequenced and four complete open reading frames (ORFs) and two incomplete ORFs were found. Two central ORFs, ORF3 and ORF4, overlap by four nucleotides and were found to encode MCM small (602 residues) and large (721 residues) subunits, respectively. Comparison showed that the MCM gene of A. mediterranei U32 was quite similar to those from other sources. The functionally unknown ORF5, immediately downstream of the mut AB gene, was quite similar to the ORFs downstream of mut AB from S. cinnamonensis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Such a striking cross-species conservation of gene order suggested that ORF5 could also be involved in the metabolism of methylmalonyl-CoA. MCM gene was overexpressed in Escherichia coli under T7 promoter, and MCM activity could be detected in the recombinant E. coli clone harboring MCM gene after the addition of coenzyme B$_{12}$. A purification procedure based on the B$_{12}$ affinity column was established to purify the MCM from E. coli. The molecular weight of purified MCM from E. coli was determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, which corresponds to that calculated from the MCM protein sequence and is also the same size as that of the enzyme purified directly from A. mediterranei U32. MCM gene was overexpressed in polyketide monensin producing S. cinnamonensis, and the total monensin production was increased by 32%. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
