Abstract
In the vitamin B12 biosynthetic pathway the enzymes responsible for the conversion of precorrin-3 to precorrin-4 have been identified as the gene products of cobG and cobJ from Pseudomonas denitrificans. CobG catalyzes the oxidation of precorrin-3 to precorrin-3x (a hydroxy lactone) whereas CobJ is a SAM-dependent C-17 methyl transferase and is necessary for ring contraction. A mechanism for ring contraction is proposed.Entities:
