ENZYME entry: EC 4.99.1.3

Accepted Name
sirohydrochlorin cobaltochelatase
Alternative Name(s)
anaerobic cobalt chelatase
cobaltochelatase
Reaction catalysed
  • Co-sirohydrochlorin + 2 H(+) <=> Co(2+) + sirohydrochlorin
  • Co-precorrin-2 + 3 H(+) <=> Co(2+) + precorrin-2
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme, which forms part of the anaerobic (early cobalt insertion) cobalamin biosynthesis pathway, is a type II chelatase.
  • It is ATP-independent and exists as either a monomer (CbiX) or a homodimer (CibK).
  • CbiK from Salmonella enterica uses precorrin-2 as the substrate to yield cobalt-precorrin-2.
  • The enzyme contains two histidines at the active site that are thought to be involved in the deprotonation of the tetrapyrrole substrate as well as in metal binding.
  • CbiX from Bacillus megaterium inserts cobalt at the level of sirohydrochlorin (factor-II) rather than precorrin-2.
  • See EC 6.6.1.2 for the cobaltochelatase that participates in the aerobic cobalamin biosynthesis pathway.
