Inactive 2-(methylthio)ethanesulfonic acid (CH3-S-CoM) reductase was partially activated by exposure to light. This simplified system replaces the complex enzymatic system of protein components A2, A3a, A3b, and ATP, which previously represented the only available means of reactivating the enzyme. Components necessary for light activation include N-(7-mercaptoheptanoyl)-L-threonine O3-phosphate (HS-HTP), CH3-S-CoM, titanium(III) citrate [Ti(III)Cit], and light above 400 nm. Photoactivation was inhibited by known inhibitors of methanogenesis: 2-bromoethanesulfonate (BES), N-(6-mercaptohexanoyl)-L-threonine O3-phosphate, N-(8-mercaptooctanoyl)-L-threonine O3-phosphate, and sodium dithionite. Methanogenesis continued when the light-activated reaction mixture was incubated in the dark. Although the specific activity was low (35 nmol of CH4 per h per mg of protein) the reaction products methane and the unsymmetrical disulfide of 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate (HS-CoM) and HS-HTP were identified. We were unable to photoactivate a reaction mixture containing the isolated prosthetic group, native F430, or its analogues.
