The transsulfuration pathway goes through cystathionine as an intermediate and utilizes cysteine as a sulfur donor. coli possesses only the transsulfuration pathway. Both pathways have been reported to be present and functional in yeast, fungi, green plants and the bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum. Acylhomoserine is then converted to homocysteine via a transsulfuration or a direct sulfhydrylation pathway. The product of metA catalysis is either acetylhomoserine or succinylhomoserine. ![]() The first dedicated step, acylation of homoserine is catalyzed by homoserine acyltransferase, and is ubiquitous in all organisms despite differences in the transferred acyl group. The biosynthetic pathways for methionine (a member of the aspartate family of amino acids) have been studied in a number of organisms and show similarities as well as differences. All three producers have plans for expansion of their methionine production facilities and integration with raw material production as well (Chem. The intermediates acrolein and methyl mercaptan must be converted into 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde (MMP) and further into methionine using hydrogen cyanide. The ability of the leading methionine producers (Degussa AG, Adisseo, and Novus) to meet the market demand hinges on raw material supplies. The market for feed-grade methionine has been reported to be improving due to increased demand in poultry and more recently swine feed supplementation. D-methionine is converted into the required L-isomer in vivo, unlike all other amino acids. There are two product forms: D,L methionine and its hydroxyanalog. Methionine has been produced synthetically for an extensive period of time by various multi-step chemical synthesis employing acrolein, methyl mercaptan and cyanide as starting materials. Methionine is an essential amino acid in the animal diet. FIELDÄisclosed are compositions, such as microorganisms, enzymes, and chemicals, as well as methods for using the same for producing methionine and related products. 3, 2012) is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
