SYSTEMATIC NAME
IUBMB Comments
cobyrinate:L-glutamine amido-ligase (ADP-forming)
This enzyme is the first glutamine amidotransferase that participates in the anaerobic (early cobalt insertion) biosynthetic pathway of adenosylcobalamin, and catalyses the ATP-dependent synthesis of cobyrinate a,c-diamide from cobyrinate using either L-glutamine or ammonia as the nitrogen source. It is proposed that the enzyme first catalyses the amidation of the c-carboxylate, and then the intermediate is released into solution and binds to the same catalytic site for the amidation of the a-carboxylate. The Km for ammonia is substantially higher than that for L-glutamine. The equivalent reaction in the aerobic cobalamin biosynthesis pathway is catalysed by EC 6.3.5.9, hydrogenobyrinic acid a,c-diamide synthase (glutamine-hydrolysing).
