Reaction: 4 ATP + adenosylcobyrinic acid a,c-diamide + 4 L-glutamine + 4 H2O = 4 ADP + 4 phosphate + adenosylcobyric acid + 4 L-glutamate

Other name(s): CobQ; cobyric acid synthase; 5'-deoxy-5'-adenosylcobyrinic-acid-a,c-diamide:L-glutamine amido-ligase; Ado-cobyric acid synthase [glutamine hydrolyzing]
Systematic name: adenosylcobyrinic-acid-a,c-diamide:L-glutamine amido-ligase (ADP-forming)
Comments: Requires Mg2+. NH3 can act instead of glutamine. This enzyme catalyses the four-step amidation sequence from cobyrinic acid a,c-diamide to cobyric acid via the formation of cobyrinic acid triamide, tetraamide and pentaamide intermediates.
