Despite the extensive study of the biosynthesis of the complex molecule B12 (cobalamin), the mechanism by which the lower ligand 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB) is formed has remained something of a mystery. However, recent work has identified and ch

Cobalamin (vitamin B(12)) production in Bacillus megaterium has served as a model system for the systematic evaluation of single and multiple directed molecular and genetic optimization strategies. Plasmid and genome-based overexpression of genes inv

The sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough possesses a large number of porphyrin-containing proteins whose biosynthesis is poorly characterized. In this work, we have studied two putative CbiK cobaltochelatases present in the

Ring contraction during cobalamin (vitamin B12) biosynthesis requires a seemingly futile methylation of the C20 position of the tetrapyrrole framework. Along the anaerobic route, this reaction is catalyzed by CbiL, which transfers a methyl group from

During porphyrin biosynthesis the oxygen-independent coproporphyrinogen III oxidase (HemN) catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of the propionate side chains of rings A and B of coproporphyrinogen III to form protoporphyrinogen IX. The enzyme util

The anaerobic biosynthesis of vitamin B12 is slowly being unravelled. Recent work has shown that the first committed step along the anaerobic route involves the sirohydrochlorin (chelation of cobalt into factor II). The following enzyme in the pathwa

Higher plant sulfite and nitrite reductases contain siroheme as a prosthetic group. Siroheme is synthesized from the tetrapyrrole primogenitor uroporphyrinogen III in three steps involving methylation, oxidation, and ferrochelation reactions. In this

CbiX is a cobaltochelatase required for the biosynthesis of vitamin B12 and is found in Archaea as a short form (CbiXS containing 120-145 amino acids) and in some bacteria as a longer version (CbiXL containing 300-350 amino acids). Purification of ei

The cobaltochelatase required for the synthesis of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) in the archaeal kingdom has been identified as CbiX through similarity searching with the CbiX from Bacillus megaterium. However, the CbiX proteins in the archaea are much sho

One of the four operons required for cobalamin biosynthesis in Bacillus megaterium is also associated with sirohaem synthesis, and contains three genes, sirA, sirB and sirC. By undertaking functional complementation experiments and in vitro assays us
