Abstract

The cobalamin (vitamin B12) binding domain has an alpha/beta fold that is a common motif found in several different cobalamin-binding proteins. Proteins containing this domain include: methionine synthase; the small subunit of glutamate mutase [PubMed10467146]; the alpha and beta subunits of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase; and mono- and tri-methylamine corrinoid proteins (MMCP and TCP, respectively) [PubMed9642198]. In methionine synthase, there is a second, adjacent domain involved in cobalamin binding that forms a 4-helical bundle cap ; in the conversion to the active conformation of this enzyme, the 4-helical cap rotates to allow the cobalamin cofactor to bind the activation domain [PubMed11731805].

The core structure of the cobalamin domain consists of 5 parallel beta-sheets, surrounded by 4-5 alpha helices in three layers, alpha/beta/alpha [PubMed7992050]. The fold of the domain resembles that of the nucleotide-binding proteins (a Rossman fold). Upon binding B12, important elements of the binding site appear to become structured, including an alpha-helix that forms on one side of the cleft accommodating the nucleotide 'tail' of the cofactor.
