Expression

Organism Comment Expression
Methylosinus trichosporium soluble, methane monooxygenase (sMMO) is expressed and active in the presence of copper if gold is also simultaneously present. Such expression is due to gold binding to methanobactin produced by Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b, thereby limiting copper uptake. Such expression and activity is significantly reduced if methanobactin preloaded with copper is also added. Both soluble, methane monooxygenase (sMMO) and particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) can be expressed when copper and gold are present, as gold effectively competes with copper for binding to methanobactin. Under certain geochemical conditions, both forms of methane monooxygenase may be expressed and active in situ up
