text: The origin and evolution of novel biochemical functions remains one of the
key questions in molecular evolution. We study recently emerged methacrylate reductase
function that is thought to have emerged in the last century and reported in Geobacter
sulfurreducens strain AM-1. We report the sequence and study the evolution of
the operon coding for the flavin-containing methacrylate reductase (Mrd) and tetraheme
cytochrome (Mcc) in the genome of G. sulfurreducens AM-1. Different types of signal
peptides in functionally interlinked proteins Mrd and Mcc suggest a possible complex
mechanism of biogenesis for chromoproteids of the methacrylate redox system. The
homologs of the Mrd and Mcc sequence found in δ-Proteobacteria and Deferribacteres
are also organized into an operon and their phylogenetic distribution suggested
that these two genes tend to be horizontally transferred together. Specifically,
the mrd and mcc genes from G. sulfurreducens AM-1 are not monophyletic with any
of the homologs found in other Geobacter genomes. The acquisition of methacrylate
reductase function by G. sulfurreducens AM-1 appears linked to a horizontal gene
transfer event. However, the new function of the products of mrd and mcc may have
evolved either prior or subsequent to their acquisition by G. sulfurreducens AM-1.
