S. erythraeus produces erythromycin presumably from methylmalonyl-CoA which might be generated by carboxylation of propionyl-CoA. A biotin-containing enzyme which carboxylates acetyl-CoA, propionyl-CoA and butyryl-CoA was purified to near homogeneity from S. erythraeus using DEAE-cellulose, affinity chromatography on monomeric avidin-Sepharose and blue Sepharose. The enzyme carboxylates propionyl-CoA (100%) with a Km of 0.09 mM and V of 0.86 .mu.mol/mg per min, acetyl-CoA (16%) with a Km of 0.17 mM and V of 0.08 .mu.mol/mg per min and butyryl-CoA (7.7%) with a Km of 0.67 mM and V of 0.044 .mu.mol/mg per min. The native enzyme has a MW of 537,000 and consists of 2 types of subunits with MW of 67,000 and 61,000, respectively, indicating an octameric .alpha.4.beta.4 type of structure. Biotin is associated with the large sunbunit (.alpha.). The enzyme has a pH optimum between 7.5 and 7.8. It is stimulated (3- to 4-fold) by K+, Rb+ and Cs+ but not by Na+ of Li+ and is inhibited by high concentrations of NH4+ and Cl-. Neither citrate nor free CoA stimulated the enzyme. The enzyme was stereospecific and generated only S-methylmalonyl-CoA from the carboxylation of propionyl-CoA. The present case appears to be the 1st enzyme possibly involved in erythromycin production to be isolated in homogeneous form.
