EC number
3.1.3.73
Accepted name
adenosylcobalamin/α-ribazole phosphatase
Reaction
(1) adenosylcobalamin 5′-phosphate + H2O = coenzyme B12 + phosphate;;
(2) α-ribazole 5′-phosphate + H2O = α-ribazole + phosphate
Other name(s)
CobC,
adenosylcobalamin phosphatase,
α-ribazole phosphatase
Systematic name
adenosylcobalamin/α-ribazole-5′-phosphate phosphohydrolase
CAS registry number
251991-06-7
Comment
This enzyme catalyses the last step in the anaerobic (early cobalt insertion) pathway of adenosylcobalamin biosynthesis, characterized in Salmonella enterica [3].
It also participates in a salvage pathway that recycles cobinamide into adenosylcobalamin [1].
