KDN is abundant in extracellular glycoconjugates of lower vertebrates such as fish and amphibians, but is also found in the capsular polysaccharides of bacteria that belong to the Bacteroides genus.

Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the green microalga Botryococcus braunii race L, in involved in biosynthesis of (14E,18E)-lycopadiene. In vitro, the enzyme can accept (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate and phytyl diphosphate as substrates, and is also able to catalyse the condensation of two different substrate molecules, forming chimeric products. However, the use of these alternative substrates is not significant in vivo.

Accepted name: alkylcobalamin dealkylase
Reaction: (1) methylcob(III)alamin + [alkylcobalamin dealkylase] + glutathione = cob(I)alamin-[alkylcobalamin dealkylase] + an S-methyl glutathione
Other name(s): MMACHC (gene name); alkylcobalamin:glutathione S-alkyltransferase; alkylcobalamin reductase
Systematic name: methylcobalamin:glutathione S-methyltransferase
Comments: This mammalian enzyme, which is cytosolic, can bind internalized methylcob(III)alamin and adenosylcob(III)alamin and process them to cob(I)alamin using the thiolate of glutathione for nucleophilic displacement. The product remains bound to the protein, and, following its oxidation to cob(II)alamin, is transferred by the enzyme, together with its interacting partner MMADHC, directly to downstream enzymes involved in adenosylcob(III)alamin and methylcob(III)alamin biosynthesis. In addition to its dealkylase function, the enzyme also catalyse an entirely different decyanase reaction with cyanocob(III)alamin (cf. EC 1.16.1.6, cyanocobalamin reductase).

EC 2.5.1.154
Accepted name: corrinoid adenosyltransferase EutT
Reaction: 2 ATP + 2 cob(II)alamin + a reduced flavoprotein = 2 diphosphate + 2 phosphate + 2 adenosylcob(III)alamin + an oxidized flavoprotein (overall reaction)
Other name(s): eutT (gene name)
Systematic name: ATP:cob(II)alamin Coβ-adenosyltransferase (diphosphate-forming)
Comments: The corrinoid adenosylation pathway comprises three steps: (i) reduction of Co(III) within the corrinoid to Co(II) by a one-electron transfer. This can occur non-enzymically in the presence of dihydroflavin nucleotides or reduced flavoproteins [1]. (ii) Co(II) is bound by corrinoid adenosyltransferase, resulting in displacement of the lower axial ligand by an aromatic residue. The reduction potential of the 4-coordinate Co(II) intermediate is raised by ~250 mV compared with the free compound, bringing it to within physiological range. This is followed by a second single-electron transfer from either free dihydroflavins or the reduced flavin cofactor of flavoproteins, resulting in reduction to Co(I) [4]. (iii) the Co(I) conducts a nucleophilic attack on the adenosyl moiety of ATP, resulting in transfer of the deoxyadenosyl group and oxidation of the cobalt atom to Co(III) state. Three types of corrinoid adenosyltransferases, not related by sequence, have been described. In the anaerobic bacterium Salmonella enterica they are encoded by the cobA gene (a housekeeping enzyme involved in both the de novo biosynthesis and the salvage of adenosylcobalamin), the pduO gene (involved in (S)-propane-1,2-diol utilization), and the eutT gene (involved in ethanolamine utilization). The first two types, which produce triphosphate, are classified as EC 2.5.1.17, corrinoid adenosyltransferase, while the EutT type hydrolyses triphosphate to diphosphate and phosphate during catalysis and is thus classified separately.
