1.21.98.3 Cobalamin - 1.21.98.3 S-adenosyl-L-methionine - 1.21.98.3 [4Fe-4S]-center BchE sequence displays the conserved CXXXCXXC sequence essential for 4Fe-4S cluster formation and an active 4Fe-4S cluster is present in the protein. Isolated protein is yellow-brown in colour with an absorption peak around 410 nm 1.21.98.3 Cobalamin dependent on, ligated via Asp248, Glu249, Leu29, Thr71, Val97 1.21.98.3 S-adenosyl-L-methionine dependent on, ligated via Phe210, Glu308 and Lys320 1.21.98.3 [4Fe-4S] cluster ligated viaCys204, Cys208, Cys211 1.21.98.3 additional information membrane-localized BchE requires an additional, heat-sensitive cytosolic cobalamin component for activity, BchE catalysis is not sustained in chimeric experiments when a cytosolic extract from Escherichia coli is used as a substitute 1.21.98.3 Cobalamin vitamin B12-requiring mutants of the bluE and bluB genes of Rhodobacter capsulatus, grown without B12, accumulate Mg-protoporphyrin monomethyl ester and its 3-vinyl-8-ethyl derivative. Cyclase activity in the B12-dependent mutants requires vitamin B12 but not protein synthesis
