The cobalamin-producing bacteriumPropionibacterium shermaniiincorporatesl-threonine into corrinoids most vigorously during the early growth phase. Anin vitrosystem, utilizing cell-free extracts from the early-growth bacteria has been obtained which in the presence ofl-threonine converts cobyric acid into cobinamide and biosynthetic products formed from cobinamide. Since in crude extractsl-threonine functions not only as the source of the corrinoid constituent (R)-1-amino-2-propanol but undergoes extensive metabolic changes unrelated to corrinoid formation, the study of thein vitrosystem required the use of14C-labeled Coβ-adenosylcobyric acid and unlabeledl-threonine. Thisin vitroconversion of cobyric acid to cobinamide is increased when a reductant such as glutathione and an energy source such as ATP, or phosphoenolpyruvate and pyruvate kinase, are present as well. With a partially purified enzyme fraction cobinamide formation could be studied using14C-labeledl-threonine and unlabeled Coβ-adenosylcobyric acid.
