Particulate methane monooxygenase beta subunit (PmoA)

Methane monooxygenases catalyses the initial oxygenation of methane to methanol in methanotrophic bacteria [1].

The bacterium Methylococcus capsulatus has two forms of methane monooxygenase, a soluble (sMMO) and a membrane-bound (particulate) type (pMMO). The particulate type is a cupper-dependent [2] nonamer composed of three alpha:beta:gamma heterotrimeric protomers assembled into a cylindrical structure; the beta and gamma subunits comprise the bulk of the membrane-spanning regions and the soluble regions are derived primarily from alpha subunits which form two antiparallel beta-barrel-like structures each [3].

BBa_K3841009 is the beta subunit of pMMO and has been codon-optimized for the methylotropich yeast, Komagataella phaffii.


Folding of PmoA (BBa_K3841009) with signal peptide (BBa_K3841036) and PmoA (BBa_K3841009) simulated using AlphaFold [4]. This part follows the orange structure.
