Application

Coenzyme A functions as an acyl group carrier, acetyl-CoA. Methylmalonyl coenzyme A (MM-CoA) is a substrate used to study the specificity and kinetics of enzymes such as methylmalonyl Coenzyme A mutase (succinyl-Ca forming), methylmalonyl-CoA decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.41), and methylmalonyl-CoA hydrolase (EC 3.1.2.17).
Methylmalonyl coenzyme A (CoA) has been used in the preparation of the calibration curve in ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). It has also been used in the measurement of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase and methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase activity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Methylmalonyl coenzyme A (CoA) is a catabolite of odd-chain fatty acids, cholesterol and few amino acids like valine, isoleucine, methionine, threonine. It is produced by the activity of the enzyme propionyl-CoA carboxylase(PCC). Methylmalonyl coenzyme A (CoA) is converted to succinyl-CoA by the methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM) and vitamin B12 as the cofactor. Either a low MCM activity or an altered metabolism of vitamin B12 causes the inherited metabolic disease methylmalonic acidemia (MMA).

Epimerase (Msed_0639) and mutase (Msed_0638 and Msed_2055) convert (S)-methylmalonyl-coenzyme A (CoA) to succinyl-CoA in the Metallosphaera sedula 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate cycle

The reported presence of a coenzyme B12-dependent methylmalonyl-CoA mutase in potatoes has been reexamined. The enzyme converting methylmalonyl-CoA was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. Examination of the reaction product by 1H, 31P NMR and mass spectrometry revealed that it was methylmalonyl-3'-dephospho-CoA.

Coenzyme B(12) is used by two highly similar radical enzymes, which catalyze carbon skeleton rearrangements, methylmalonyl-CoA mutase and isobutyryl-CoA mutase (ICM). ICM catalyzes the reversible interconversion of isobutyryl-CoA and n-butyryl-CoA and exists as a heterotetramer. In this study, we have

Type I polyketide synthases (PKSs) are multidomain, multimodule enzymes capable of producing complex polyketide metabolites. These modules contain an acyltransferase (AT) domain, which selects acyl-CoA substrates to be incorporated into the metabolite scaffold. Herein, we reveal the sequences of three
