Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Described herein are microorganisms that produce methionine and related products from endogenous genes in a transsulfuration pathway, as well as from exogenous genes providing a direct sulfhydrylation pathway. Novel genes that are useful for methionine and SAMe production are disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An isolated polypeptide with homoserine O-succinyltransferase activity, which shows a reduced sensitivity to feedback inhibition by L-methionine as compared with a wild-type homoserine O-succinyltransferase polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 35, and which comprises a mutation at one or more amino acid positions corresponding to amino acids 24, 29, 79, 114, 140, 163, 222, 275, 290, 291, 295, 297, 304 and 305 of SEQ ID No: 35.…
