Genetically engineered strains ofEscherichia coliandPseudomonas aeruginosawere prepared harboring the gene clusternirFDLGHfromPseudomonas stutzerisubstrain ZoBell on a high copy plasmid. These genes have been previously implicated as being essential for the biosynthesis of heme d1, the prosthetic group of dissimilatory nitrite reductases in anaerobic, denitryfying bacteria. Tetrapyrroles detectable at steady-state levels were identified from both organisms, and cell-free extracts from each were also used to transform uroporphyrinogen in vitro.E. colidoes not naturally produce d1, and the engineered strain failed to produce d1or any tetrapyrrole foreign toE. coli. Therefore, whilenirFDLGHmay be necessary for d1biosynthesis, it is not sufficient. In the denitrifierP. aeruginosa, the results were more positive. The presence of the plasmid led to increased levels of d1. In addition, a previously unidentified tetrapyrrole was detected. This compound was characterized by visible absorption spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and NMR, and a tentative structure was proposed for this compound. The tetrapyrrole has structural features similar to sirohydrochlorin (as precorrin-2 or sirotetrahydrochlorin, a known intermediate of d1) and d1itself. The most unusual substituents are epoxide and sulfoxide moieties. When this tetrapyrrole was treated with strong mineral acid and heat, it was converted into natural d1.
