Family members were previously thought to be ArgK proteins acting as ATPase enzymes and kinases. They are now believed to be methylmalonyl Co-A mutase-associated GTPase MeaB. Structural studies of MeaB and the human ortholog (methylmalonyl associated protein A) MMAA, reveal alpha-helical domains at the N- and C-termini as well as a Ras-like GTPase domain. Mutational analysis of MeaB, show prohibited growth in Methylobacterium due to the inability to convert methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA caused by an inactive form of methylmalonyl-CoA mutatase (mcm). In humans, mutations in (MMAA) are associated with the fatal disease methylmalonyl aciduria [1].
This domain binds to B12 (adenosylcobamide)[1-3], it is found in several enzymes, such as glutamate mutase Swiss:Q05488, methionine synthase Swiss:Q99707 and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase Swiss:P22033. It contains a conserved DxHxxGx(41)SxVx(26)GG motif, ...

The enzyme methylmalonyl-CoA mutase is a member of a class of enzymes that uses coenzyme B12 (adenosylcobalamin) as a cofactor. The enzyme induces the formation of an adenosyl radical from the cofactor. This radical then initiates a free-radical rear ...
The enzyme methylmalonyl-CoA mutase is a member of a class of enzymes that uses coenzyme B12 (adenosylcobalamin) as a cofactor. The enzyme induces the formation of an adenosyl radical from the cofactor. This radical then initiates a free-radical rearrangement of its substrate, succinyl-CoA, to methylmalonyl-CoA [1].
