Characterization of Methyl- and Acetyl-Ni Intermediates in Acetyl CoA Synthase Formed during Anaerobic CO 2 and CO Fixation
Open accessAbstract
The Wood–Ljungdahl Pathway is a unique biological mechanism of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide fixation proposed to operate through nickel-based organometallic intermediates. The most unusual steps in this metabolic cycle involve a complex of two distinct nickel–iron–sulfur proteins: CO dehydrogenase and acetyl-CoA synthase (CODH/ACS). Here, we describe the nickel-methyl and nickel-acetyl intermediates in ACS completing the characterization of all its proposed organometallic intermediates. A single nickel site (Ni p ) within the A cluster of ACS undergoes major geometric and redox changes as it transits the planar Ni p, tetrahedral Ni p –CO and planar Ni p –Me and Ni p –Ac intermediates. We propose that the Ni p intermediates equilibrate among different redox states, driven by an electrochemical–chemical (EC) coupling process, and that geometric changes in the A-cluster linked to large protein conformational changes control entry of CO and the methyl group.

In the acetyl-CoA pathway of H2-dependent acetogens and methanogens, CoFeS catalyzes a cobamide-dependent cobalt-to-nickel methyl transfer reaction essential for acetyl-CoA synthesis.
“In the acetyl‐CoA pathway of H2‐dependent acetogens (bacteria) and H2‐dependent methanogens (archaea), the corrinoid iron–sulphur protein (CoFeS) catalyzes a cobamide‐dependent cobalt‐to‐nickel methyl transfer reaction that is essential for acetyl‐CoA synthesis [52, 53]”
From Evidence for corrin biosynthesis in the last universal common ancestor (2025) · cites this paper as [53]
The Results (Methylated Intermediate of ACS; page not provided) identify methyl-CFeSP as a methyl donor and report transfer of its methyl group to nickel in ACS. But the paper describes ACS, not CoFeS, as the enzyme undergoing methylation; it does not establish the claim for H2-dependent acetogens and methanogens specifically. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
