Cells of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum (strain Marburg) grown under iron-limiting conditions were found to synthesize a soluble polypeptide as one of the major cell proteins. This polypeptide purified as a homotetramer (170 kDa [subunit molecular mass, 43 kDa]) had a UV-visible spectrum typical of flavoproteins and contained 0.7 mol of flavin mononucleotide per mol of monomer. Quantitative analysis by immunoblotting with polyclonal antibodies indicated that the flavoprotein, which amounts ...[more]
