Crystal Structure of the vitamin B12 biosynthetic cobaltochelatase, CbiXS, from Archaeoglobus fulgidus

Overview

The Archaeoglobus fulgidus gene af0721 encodes CbiX(S), a small, cobaltochelatase associated with the anaerobic biosynthesis of vitamin B12, (cobalamin). The protein was shown to have activity both in vivo and in, vitro, catalyzing the insertion of Co2+ into sirohydrochlorin. The, structure of CbiX(S) was determined in two different crystal forms and was, shown to consist of a central mixed beta-sheet flanked by four, alpha-helices, one of which originates in the C-terminus of a neighboring, molecule. CbiX(S) is about half the size of other Class II tetrapyrrole, chelatases. The overall topography of CbiX(S) exhibits substantial, resemblance to both the N- and C-terminal regions of several members of, the Class II metal chelatases involved in tetrapyrrole biosynthesis. Two, histidines (His10 and His74), are in similar positions as the catalytic, histidine residues in the anaerobic cobaltochelatase CbiK (His145 and, His207). In light of the hypothesis that suggests the larger chelatases, evolved via gene duplication and fusion from a CbiX(S)-like enzyme, the, structure of AF0721 may represent that of an "ancestral" precursor of, class II metal chelatases.
