FunctionGMSS_CLOCO Catalyzes the carbon skeleton rearrangement of L-glutamate to L-threo-3-methylaspartate ((2S,3S)-3-methylaspartate).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00526][1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedCatalysis by radical enzymes dependent on coenzyme B12 (AdoCbl) relies on the reactive primary 5'-deoxy-5'adenosyl radical, which originates from reversible Co-C bond homolysis of AdoCbl. This bond homolysis is accelerated roughly 10(12) -fold upon binding the enzyme substrate. The structural basis for this activation is still strikingly enigmatic. As revealed here, a displaced firm adenosine binding cavity in substrate-loaded glutamate mutase (GM) causes a structural misfit for intact AdoCbl that is relieved by the homolytic Co-C bond cleavage. Strategically interacting adjacent adenosine- and substrate-binding protein cavities provide a tight caged radical reaction space, controlling the entire radical path. The GM active site is perfectly structured for promoting radical catalysis, including "negative catalysis", a paradigm for AdoCbl-dependent mutases.
