EC 5.4.2.12 phosphoglycerate mutase (2,3-diphosphoglycerate-independent)
EC 5.4.2.13 phosphogalactosamine mutase
Accepted name: phosphoglucomutase (α-D-glucose-1,6-bisphosphate-dependent)
Reaction: α-D-glucose 1-phosphate = D-glucose 6-phosphate
For diagram click here.
Other name(s): glucose phosphomutase (ambiguous); phosphoglucose mutase (ambiguous)
Systematic name: α-D-glucose 1,6-phosphomutase
Comments: Maximum activity is only obtained in the presence of α-D-glucose 1,6-bisphosphate. This bisphosphate is an intermediate in the reaction, being formed by transfer of a phosphate residue from the enzyme to the substrate, but the dissociation of bisphosphate from the enzyme complex is much slower than the overall isomerization. The enzyme also catalyses (more slowly) the interconversion of 1-phosphate and 6-phosphate isomers of many other α-D-hexoses, and the interconversion of α-D-ribose 1-phosphate and 5-phosphate. EC 5.4.2.5, phosphoglucomutase (glucose-cofactor).

Accepted name: bisphosphoglycerate mutase
Reaction: 3-phospho-D-glyceroyl phosphate = 2,3-bisphospho-D-glycerate
Other name(s): diphosphoglycerate mutase; glycerate phosphomutase; bisphosphoglycerate synthase; bisphosphoglyceromutase; biphosphoglycerate synthase; diphosphoglyceric mutase; 2,3-diphosphoglycerate mutase; phosphoglyceromutase; 2,3-diphosphoglycerate synthase; DPGM; 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate mutase; BPGM; diphosphoglyceromutase; 2,3-diphosphoglyceromutase
Systematic name: 3-phospho-D-glycerate 1,2-phosphomutase
Comments: In the direction shown, this enzyme is phosphorylated by 3-phosphoglyceroyl phosphate, to give phosphoenzyme and 3-phosphoglycerate. The latter is rephosphorylated by the enzyme to yield 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, but this reaction is slowed by dissociation of 3-phosphoglycerate from the enzyme, which is therefore more active in the presence of added 3-phosphoglycerate. This enzyme also catalyses, slowly, the reactions of EC 3.1.3.13 (bisphosphoglycerate phosphatase) and EC 5.4.2.1 (phosphoglycerate mutase). Formerly EC 2.7.5.4.

Other name(s): glucose phosphomutase (ambiguous); glucose-1-phosphate phosphotransferase
Systematic name: α-D-glucose 1,6-phosphomutase (glucose-cofactor)
Comments: The enzyme is activated by D-glucose, which probably acts as an acceptor for a phosphate residue from the substrate, thus being itself converted into the product. cf. EC 5.4.2.2, phosphoglucomutase (α-D-glucose-1,6-bisphosphate-dependent).

Accepted name: β-phosphoglucomutase
Reaction: β-D-glucose 1-phosphate = β-D-glucose 6-phosphate
For diagram of reaction click here.
Systematic name: β-D-glucose 1,6-phosphomutase
Comments: The enzyme requires Mg2+ and phosphorylation of an aspartate residue at the active site. The enzyme is able to autophosphorylate itself with its substrate β-D-glucose 1-phosphate. Although this is a slow reaction, only a single turnover is required for activation. Once the phosphorylated enzyme is formed, it generates the reaction intermediate β-D-glucose 1,6-bisphosphate, which can be used to phosphorylate the enzyme in subsequent cycles [4]. cf. EC 5.4.2.2, phosphoglucomutase (α-D-glucose-1,6-bisphosphate-dependent).

Other Name(s): D-glucosamine 1,6-phosphomutase
Systematic name: α-D-glucosamine 1,6-phosphomutase
Comments: The enzyme is involved in the pathway for bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharide biosyntheses, being an essential step in the pathway for UDP-N-acetylglucosamine biosynthesis. The enzyme from Escherichia coli is activated by phosphorylation and can be autophosphorylated in vitro by α-D-glucosamine 1,6-bisphosphate, which is an intermediate in the reaction, α-D-glucose 1,6-bisphosphate or ATP.

Systematic name: D-phosphoglycerate 2,3-phosphomutase (2,3-diphosphoglycerate-dependent)
Comments: The enzymes from vertebrates, platyhelminths, mollusks, annelids, crustaceans, insects, algae, some fungi and some bacteria (particularly Gram-negative) require 2,3-bisphospho-D-glycerate as a cofactor. The enzyme is activated by 2,3-bisphospho-D-glycerate by transferring a phosphate to histidine (His10 in man and Escherichia coli, His8 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae). This phosphate can be transferred to the free OH of 2-phospho-D-glycerate, followed by transfer of the phosphate already on the phosphoglycerate back to the histidine. cf. EC 5.4.2.12 phosphoglycerate mutase. The enzyme has no requirement for metal ions. This enzyme also catalyse, slowly, the reactions of EC 5.4.2.4 bisphosphoglycerate mutase.

Comments: The enzymes from higher plants, algae, some fungi, nematodes, sponges, coelenterates, myriapods, arachnids, echinoderms, archaea and some bacteria (particularly Gram-positive) have maximum activity in the absence of 2,3-bisphospho-D-glycerate. cf. EC 5.4.2.11 phosphoglycerate mutase (2,3-diphosphoglycerate-dependent). The enzyme contains two Mn2+ (or in some species two Co2+ ions). The reaction involves a phosphotransferase reaction to serine followed by transfer back to the glycerate at the other position. Both metal ions are involved in the reaction.

Systematic name: L-lysine 2,3-aminomutase
Comments: This enzyme is a member of the ’AdoMet radical’ (radical SAM) family. It contains pyridoxal phosphate and a [4Fe-4S] cluster and binds an exchangeable S-adenosyl-L-methionine molecule. Activity in vitro requires a strong reductant such as dithionite and strictly anaerobic conditions. A 5′-deoxyadenosyl radical is generated during the reaction cycle by reductive cleavage of S-adenosyl-L-methionine, mediated by the iron-sulfur cluster. S-adenosyl-L-methionine is regenerated at the end of the reaction.

Accepted name: isobutyryl-CoA mutase
Reaction: 2-methylpropanoyl-CoA = butanoyl-CoA
Other name(s): isobutyryl coenzyme A mutase; butyryl-CoA:isobutyryl-CoA mutase
Systematic name: 2-methylpropanoyl-CoA CoA-carbonylmutase
Comments: This bacterial enzyme utilizes 5′-deoxyadenosylcobalamin as a cofactor. Following substrate binding, the enzyme catalyses the homolytic cleavage of the cobalt-carbon bond of AdoCbl, yielding cob(II)alamin and a 5′-deoxyadenosyl radical, which initiates the the carbon skeleton rearrangement reaction by hydrogen atom abstraction from the substrate. At the end of each catalytic cycle the 5′-deoxyadenosyl radical and cob(II)alamin recombine, regenerating the resting form of the cofactor. The enzyme is prone to inactivation resulting from occassional loss of the 5′-deoxyadenosyl molecule. Inactivated enzymes are repaired by the action of EC 2.5.1.17, cob(I)yrinic acid a,c-diamide adenosyltransferase, and a G-protein chaperone, which restore cob(II)alamin (which is first reduced to cob(I)alamin by an unidentified reductase) to 5′-deoxyadenosylcobalamin and load it back on the mutase. Some mutases are fused with their G-protein chaperone. These enzyme can also catalyse the interconversion of isovaleryl-CoA with pivalyl-CoA.

Systematic name: 5-carboxyamino-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole carboxymutase
Comments: In eubacteria, fungi and plants, this enzyme, along with EC 6.3.4.18, 5-(carboxyamino)imidazole ribonucleotide synthase, is required to carry out the single reaction catalysed by EC 4.1.1.21, phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase, in vertebrates [6]. In the absence of EC 6.3.2.6, phosphoribosylaminoimidazolesuccinocarboxamide synthase, the reaction is reversible [3]. The substrate is readily converted into 5-amino-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole by non-enzymic decarboxylation [3].

EC 5.4.99.64
Accepted name: 2-hydroxyisobutanoyl-CoA mutase
Reaction: 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoyl-CoA = (S)-3-hydroxybutanoyl-CoA
Glossary: 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoyl-CoA = 2-hydroxyisobutanoyl-CoA
Other name(s): hcmAB (gene names)
Systematic name: 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoyl-CoA mutase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Aquincola tertiaricarbonis, uses radical chemistry to rearrange the positions of both a methyl group and a hydroxyl group. It consists of two subunits, the smaller one containing a cobalamin cofactor. It plays a central role in the degradation of assorted substrates containing a tert-butyl moiety.
