Purification and initial biochemical characterization of ATP:Cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase (EutT) enzyme of Salmonella enterica

ATP:cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase (EutT) of Salmonella enterica was overproduced and enriched to approximately 70% homogeneity, and its basic kinetic parameters were determined. Abundant amounts of EutT protein were produced, but all of it remained insoluble. Soluble active EutT protein (approximately 70% homogeneous) was obtained after treatment with detergent. Under conditions in which cobalamin (Cbl) was saturating, Km(ATP) = 10 microm, kcat = 0.03 s(-1), and Vmax = 54.5 nm min(-1). Similarly, under conditions in which MgATP was saturating, Km(Cbl) = 4.1 microm, kcat = 0.06 s(-1), and Vmax = 105 nm min(-1). Unlike other ATP:co(I)rrinoid adenosyltransferases in the cell (i.e. CobA and PduO), EutT activity was > or =50-fold higher with ATP versus GTP, and EutT retained 80% of its activity with ADP substituted for ATP and was completely inactive with AMP as substrate, indicating that the enzyme requires the beta-phosphate group of the nucleotide substrate. The data suggest that the amino group of adenine might play a role in nucleotide recognition and/or binding. Unlike the housekeeping CobA enzyme, EutT was not inhibited by inorganic tripolyphosphate (PPPi). Results from 31P NMR spectroscopy studies identified PPi and Pi as by-products of the EutT reaction. In the absence of Cbl, EutT cleaved ATP into adenosine and PPPi, suggesting that PPPi is broken down into PPi and Pi. Electron transfer protein partners for EutT were not encoded by the eut operon. EutT-dependent activity was detected in cell-free extracts of cobA strains enriched for EutT when FMN and NADH were used to reduce cob(III)alamin to cob(I)alamin.     

Functional characterization and mutation analysis of human ATP:Cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase

ATP:cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase catalyzes the final step in the conversion of vitamin B 12 into the active coenzyme, adenosylcobalamin. Inherited defects in the gene for the human adenosyltransferase (hATR) result in methylmalonyl aciduria (MMA), a rare but life-threatening illness. In this study, we conducted a random mutagenesis of the hATR coding sequence. An ATR-deficient strain of Salmonella was used as a surrogate host to screen for mutations that impaired hATR activity in vivo. Fifty-seven missense mutations were isolated. These mapped to 30 positions of the hATR, 25 of which had not previously been shown to impair enzyme activity. Kinetic analysis and in vivo tests for enzyme activity were performed on the hATR variants, and mutations were mapped onto a hATR structural model. These studies functionally defined the hATR active site and tentatively implicated three amino acid residues in facilitating the reduction of cob(II)alamin to cob(I)alamin which is a prerequisite to adenosylation.     

Purification and initial characterization of the Salmonella enterica PduO ATP:Cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase

The PduO enzyme of Salmonella enterica is an ATP:cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase that catalyzes the final step in the conversion of vitamin B(12) to coenzyme B(12). The primary physiological role of this enzyme is to support coenzyme B(12)-dependent 1,2-propanediol degradation, and bioinformatic analysis has indicated that it has two domains. Here the PduO adenosyltransferase was produced in Escherichia coli, solubilized from inclusion bodies, purified to apparent homogeneity, and partially characterized biochemically. The K(m) values of PduO for ATP and cob(I)alamin were 19.8 and 4.5 microM, respectively, and the enzyme V(max) was 243 nmol min(-1) mg of protein(-1). Further investigations showed that PduO was active with ATP and partially active with deoxy-ATP, but lacked measurable activity with other nucleotides. (31)P nuclear magnetic resonance established that triphosphate was a product of the PduO reaction, and kinetic studies indicated a ternary complex mechanism. A series of truncated versions of the PduO protein were produced in Escherichia coli, partially purified, and used to show that adenosyltransferase activity is associated with the N-terminal domain. The N-terminal domain was purified to near homogeneity and shown to have biochemical properties and kinetic constants similar to those of the full-length enzyme. This indicated that the C-terminal domain was not directly involved in catalysis or substrate binding and may have another role.     

Molecular properties of two proteins homologous to PduO-type ATP:cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase from Sulfolobus tokodaii

In the thermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus tokodaii, there are two genes homologous to PduO-type ATP:cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase, ST1454 and ST2180. To address the structure and function of these two sequence-related proteins from one organism, we prepared them by using the Escherichia coli expression system and analyzed them by immunoblotting, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectrometry, ATP:cobalamin adenosyltransferase assay, and X-ray crystallography. Immunoblotting and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectroscopy analyses showed that both these proteins are expressed in S. tokodaii cells as soluble proteins and are spontaneously digested at the N-terminal region. ATP:cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase activity was detected for ST1454 but not for ST2180. ST2180 reduced the concentration of cob(I)alamin, suggesting that ST2180 might recognize cob(I)alamin as a ligand. The secondary structure of ST1454 was retained even in 7 M guanidine hydrochroride, whereas that of ST2180 was melted in 4.5 M guanidine hydrochloride. The X-ray crystal structural analysis revealed that the proteins shared a common structure: a trimer of five-helix bundles with a clockwise kink. There is a pocket surrounded by highly conserved residues, in which a polypropylene glycol 400 in the crystal structure of ST1454 was captured, suggesting that it is an active site. Structural comparison between these two proteins showed the difference in the number of ion pairs around the proposed active site. On the basis of these results, we propose that ST1454 and ST2180 have related but distinct functions.     

Patient mutations in human ATP:cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase differentially affect its catalytic versus chaperone functions

Human ATP:cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase (ATR) is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes an adenosyl transfer to cob(I)alamin, synthesizing 5′-deoxyadenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) or coenzyme B₁₂. ATR is also a chaperone that escorts AdoCbl, transferring it to methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, which is important in propionate metabolism. Mutations in ATR lead to methylmalonic aciduria type B, an inborn error of B₁₂ metabolism. Our previous studies have furnished insights into how ATR protein dynamics influence redox-linked cobalt coordination chemistry, controlling its catalytic versus chaperone functions. In this study, we have characterized three patient mutations at two conserved active site residues in human ATR, R190C/H, and E193K and obtained crystal structures of R190C and E193K variants, which display only subtle structural changes. All three mutations were found to weaken affinities for the cob(II)alamin substrate and the AdoCbl product and increase K_M(ATP). ³¹P NMR studies show that binding of the triphosphate product, formed during the adenosylation reaction, is also weakened. However, although the k_cat of this reaction is significantly diminished for the R190C/H mutants, it is comparable with the WT enzyme for the E193K variant, revealing the catalytic importance of Arg-190. Furthermore, although the E193K mutation selectively impairs the chaperone function by promoting product release into solution, its catalytic function might be unaffected at physiological ATP concentrations. In contrast, the R190C/H mutations affect both the catalytic and chaperoning activities of ATR. Because the E193K mutation spares the catalytic activity of ATR, our data suggest that the patients carrying this mutation are more likely to be responsive to cobalamin therapy.     

In vivo expression of human ATP:cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase (ATR) using recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) serotypes 2 and 8

BACKGROUND: Methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) is an autosomal recessive disease with symptoms that include ketoacidosis, lethargy, recurrent vomiting, dehydration, respiratory distress, muscular hypotonia and death due to methylmalonic acid levels that are up to 1000-fold greater than normal. CblB MMA, a subset of the mutations leading to MMA, is caused by a deficiency in the enzyme cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase (ATR). No animal model currently exists for this disease. ATR functions within the mitochondria matrix in the final conversion of cobalamin into coenzyme B(12), adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl). AdoCbl is a required coenzyme for the mitochondrial enzyme methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM). METHODS: The human ATR cDNA was cloned into a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector and packaged into AAV 2 or 8 capsids and delivered by portal vein injection to C57/Bl6 mice at a dose of 1 x 10(10) and 1 x 10(11) particles. Eight weeks post-injection RNA, genomic DNA and protein were then extracted and analyzed. RESULTS: Using primer pairs specific to the cytomegalovirus (CMV) enhancer/chicken beta-actin (CBAT) promoter within the rAAV vectors, genome copy numbers were found to be 0.03, 2.03 and 0.10 per cell in liver for the rAAV8 low dose, rAAV8 high dose and rAAV2 high dose, respectively. Western blotting performed on mitochondrial protein extracts demonstrated protein levels were comparable to control levels in the rAAV8 low dose and rAAV2 high dose animals and 3- to 5-fold higher than control levels were observed in high dose animals. Immunostaining demonstrated enhanced transduction efficiency of hepatocytes to over 40% in the rAAV8 high dose animals, compared to 9% and 5% transduction in rAAV2 high dose and rAAV8 low dose animals, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: These data demonstrate the feasibility of efficient ATR gene transfer to the liver as a prelude to future gene therapy experiments.     

Human ATP:Cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase and its interaction with methionine synthase reductase

The final step in the conversion of vitamin B(12) into coenzyme B(12) (adenosylcobalamin, AdoCbl) is catalyzed by ATP:cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase (ATR). Prior studies identified the human ATR and showed that defects in its encoding gene underlie cblB methylmalonic aciduria. Here two common polymorphic variants of the ATR that are found in normal individuals are expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and partially characterized. The specific activities of ATR variants 239K and 239M were 220 and 190 nmol min(-1) mg(-1), and their K(m) values were 6.3 and 6.9 mum for ATP and 1.2 and 1.6 mum for cob(I)alamin, respectively. These values are similar to those obtained for previously studied bacterial ATRs indicating that both human variants have sufficient activity to mediate AdoCbl synthesis in vivo. Investigations also showed that purified recombinant human methionine synthase reductase (MSR) in combination with purified ATR can convert cob(II)alamin to AdoCbl in vitro. In this system, MSR reduced cob(II)alamin to cob(I)alamin that was adenosylated to AdoCbl by ATR. The optimal stoichiometry for this reaction was approximately 4 MSR/ATR and results indicated that MSR and ATR physically interacted in such a way that the highly reactive reaction intermediate [cob(I)alamin] was sequestered. The finding that MSR reduced cob(II)alamin to cob(I)alamin for AdoCbl synthesis (in conjunction with the prior finding that MSR reduced cob(II)alamin for the activation of methionine synthase) indicates a dual physiological role for MSR.     

Purification and partial characterization of Cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase from Pseudomonas denitrificans.

Cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.17) was purified to homogeneity from extracts of a Pseudomonas denitrificans recombinant strain and sequenced at its N terminus. It is a homodimer (each unit with an Mr of 28,000) encoded by cobO. The enzyme adenosylated all of the corrinoids isolated from this microorganism but did not adenosylate cobyrinic acid.     

Identification of the human and bovine ATP:Cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase cDNAs based on complementation of a bacterial mutant

In humans, deficiencies in coenzyme B12-dependent methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM) lead to methylmalonyl aciduria, a rare disease that is often fatal in newborns. Such deficiencies can result from inborn errors in the MCM structural gene or from mutations that impair the assimilation of dietary cobalamins into coenzyme B12 (Ado-B12), the required cofactor for MCM. ATP:cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase (ATR) catalyzes the terminal step in the conversion of cobalamins into Ado-B12. Substantial evidence indicates that inherited defects in this enzyme lead to methylmalonyl aciduria, but the corresponding ATR gene has not been identified. Here we report the identification of the bovine and human ATR cDNAs as well as the corresponding human gene. A bovine liver cDNA expression library was screened for clones that complemented an ATR-deficient bacterial strain for color formation on aldehyde indicator medium, and four positive clones were isolated. The DNA sequences of two clones were determined and found to be identical. Sequence similarity searching was then used to identify a homologous human cDNA (89% identity) and its corresponding gene that is located on chromosome XII. The bovine and human cDNAs were independently cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Enzyme assays showed that expression strains produced 87 and 98 nmol/min/mg ATR activity, respectively. These specific activities are in line with values reported previously for bacterial ATR enzymes. Subsequent studies showed that the human cDNA clone complemented an ATR-deficient bacterial mutant for Ado-B12-dependent growth on 1,2-propanediol. This demonstrated that the human ATR is active under physiological conditions albeit in a heterologous host. In addition, Western blots were used to show that ATR expression is altered in cell lines derived from cblB methylmalonyl aciduria patients compared with cell lines from normal individuals. We propose that inborn errors in the human ATR gene identified here result in methylmalonyl aciduria. The identification of genes involved in this disorder will allow improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of this serious disease.     

Multiple roles of ATP:cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferases in the conversion of B12 to coenzyme B12

Our mechanistic understanding of the conversion of vitamin B₁₂ into coenzyme B₁₂ (a.k.a. adenosylcobalamin, AdoCbl) has been substantially advanced in recent years. Insights into the multiple roles played by ATP:cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase (ACA) enzymes have emerged through the crystallographic, spectroscopic, biochemical, and mutational analyses of wild-type and variant proteins. ACA enzymes circumvent the thermodynamic barrier posed by the very low redox potential associated with the reduction of cob(II)alamin to cob(I)alamin by generating a unique four-coordinate cob(II)alamin intermediate that is readily converted to cob(I)alamin by physiological reductants. ACA enzymes not only synthesize AdoCbl but also they deliver it to the enzymes that use it, and in some cases, enzymes in which its function is needed to maintain the fidelity of the AdoCbl delivery process have been identified. Advances in our understanding of ACA enzyme function have provided valuable insights into the role of specific residues, and into why substitutions of these residues have profound negative effects on human health. From an applied science standpoint, a better understanding of the adenosylation reaction may lead to more efficient ways of synthesizing AdoCbl.     

Purification and initial characterization of the ATP:corrinoid adenosyltransferase encoded by the cobA gene of Salmonella typhimurium.

The cobA gene of Salmonella typhimurium and its product were overexpressed to approximately 20% of the total cell protein. CobA was purified to 98% homogeneity; N-terminal sequence analysis (21 residues) of homogeneous protein confirmed the predicted amino acid sequence. ATP:corrinoid adenosyltransferase activity was demonstrated in vitro to be associated with CobA. This activity was optimal at pH 8 and 37 degrees C. A quantitative preference was determined for Mn(II) cations and ATP. The apparent Km of CobA for ATP was 2.8 microM, and that for cob(I)alamin was 5.2 microM. Vmax was measured at 0.43 nmol/min. Cobinamide served as the substrate for CobA to yield adenosylcobinamide. Activity was stable at 4 degrees C for several weeks but was lost rapidly at room temperature (50% overnight). Dithiothreitol was required to maintain the enzymatic activity of CobA.     

Cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase: probing the role of the axial base in catalysis of methyl transfer between methyltetrahydrofolate and exogenous cob(I)alamin or cob(I)inamide

Cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase (MetH) catalyzes the transfer of methyl groups between methyltetrahydrofolate (CH(3)-H(4)folate) and homocysteine, with the enzyme-bound cobalamin serving as an intermediary in the methyl transfers. An MetH fragment comprising residues 2-649 contains modules that bind and activate CH(3)-H(4)folate and homocysteine and catalyze methyl transfers to and from exogenous cobalamin. Comparison of the rates of reaction of cobalamin, which contains a dimethylbenzimidazole nucleotide coordinated to the cobalt in the lower axial position, and cobinamide, which lacks the dimethylbenzimidazole nucleotide, allows assessment of the degree of stabilization the dimethylbenzimidazole base provides for methyl transfer between CH(3)-H(4)folate bound to MetH(2-649) and exogenous cob(I)alamin. When the reactions of cob(I)alamin or cob(I)inamide with CH(3)-H(4)folate are compared, the observed second-order rate constants are 2.7-fold faster for cob(I)alamin; in the reverse direction, methylcobinamide reacts 35-fold faster than methylcobalamin with enzyme-bound tetrahydrofolate. These measurements can be used to estimate the influence of the dimethylbenzimidazole ligand on both the thermodynamics and kinetics of methyl transfer between methyltetrahydrofolate and cob(I)alamin or cob(I)inamide. The free energy change for methyl transfer from CH(3)-H(4)folate to cob(I)alamin is 2.8 kcal more favorable than that for methyl transfer to cob(I)inamide. Dimethylbenzimidazole contributes approximately 0.6 kcal/mol of stabilization for the forward reaction and approximately 2.2 kcal/mol of destabilization for the reverse reaction. Binding of methylcobalamin to full-length methionine synthase is accompanied by ligand substitution, and switching between "base-on" and "base-off" states of the cofactor has been demonstrated [Bandarian, V., et al. (2003) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 100, 8156-8163]. The present results disfavor a major role for such switching in catalysis of methyl transfer, and are consistent with the hypothesis that the primary role of the ligand triad in methionine synthase is controlling the distribution of enzyme conformations during catalysis.     

Nucleotide sequence and genetic analysis of a 13.1-kilobase-pair Pseudomonas denitrificans DNA fragment containing five cob genes and identification of structural genes encoding Cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase, cobyric acid synthase, and bifunctional cobinamide kinase-cobinamide phosphate guanylyltransferase.

A 13.1-kb DNA fragment carrying Pseudomonas denitrificans cob genes has been sequenced. The nucleotide sequence and genetic analysis revealed that this fragment contained five different cob genes named cobN to cobQ and cobW. Based on the similarity of NH2-terminal sequences and molecular weights of the purified Cob proteins, CobQ was identified as cobyric acid synthase, CobP was identified as a bifunctional enzyme exhibiting both cobinamide kinase and cobinamide phosphate guanylyltransferase activities, and CobO was identified as cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase. CobN is proposed to play a role in cobalt insertion reactions. Four other open reading frames were identified on the 13.1-kb fragment, but their chromosomal inactivation did not lead to a cobalamin-minus phenotype.     

The ATP:Co(I)rrinoid adenosyltransferase (CobA) enzyme of Salmonella enterica requires the 2'-OH group of ATP for function and yields inorganic triphosphate as its reaction byproduct

The specificity of the ATP:corrinoid adenosyltransferase (CobA) enzyme of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium LT2 for its nucleotide substrate was tested using ATP analogs and alternative nucleotide donors. The enzyme showed broad specificity for the nucleotide base and required the 2'-OH group of the ribosyl moiety of ATP for activity. (31)P NMR spectroscopy was used to identify inorganic triphosphate (PPP(i)) as the byproduct of the reaction catalyzed by the CobA enzyme. Cleavage of triphosphate into pyrophosphate and orthophosphate did not occur, indicating that triphosphate cleavage was not required for release of the adenosylcorrinoid product. Triphosphate was a strong inhibitor of the reaction, with 85% of CobA activity lost when the ATP/PPP(i) ratio present in the reaction mixture was 1:2.5.     

The EutT Enzyme of Salmonella enterica Is a Unique ATP:Cob(I)alamin Adenosyltransferase Metalloprotein That Requires Ferrous Ions for Maximal Activity

ATP:co(I)rrinoid adenosyltransferase (ACAT) enzymes convert vitamin B₁₂ to coenzyme B₁₂. EutT is the least understood ACAT. We report the purification of EutT to homogeneity and show that, in vitro, free dihydroflavins drive the adenosylation of cob(II)alamin bound to EutT. Results of chromatography analyses indicate that EutT is dimeric in solution, and unlike other ACATs, EutT catalyzes the reaction with sigmoidal kinetics indicative of positive cooperativity for cob(II)alamin. Maximal EutT activity was obtained after metalation with ferrous ions. EutT/Fe(II) protein lost all activity upon exposure to air and H₂O₂, consistent with previously reported results indicating that EutT was an oxygen-labile metalloprotein containing a redox-active metal. Results of in vivo and in vitro analyses of single-amino-acid variants affecting a HX₁₁CCXXC⁸³ motif conserved in EutT proteins showed that residues His67, Cys80, and Cys83 were required for EutT function in vivo, while Cys79 was not. Unlike that of other variants, the activity of the EutT^C80A variant was undetectable in vitro, suggesting that Cys80 was critical to EutT function. Results of circular dichroism studies indicate that the presence or absence of a metal ion does not affect protein folding. EutT can now be purified in the presence of oxygen and reactivated with ferrous ions for maximal activity.     

Participation of cob(I) alamin in the reaction catalyzed by methionine synthase from Escherichia coli: a steady-state and rapid reaction kinetic analysis

The kinetic mechanism of the reaction catalyzed by cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase from Escherichia coli K12 has been investigated by both steady-state and pre-steady-state kinetic analyses. The reaction catalyzed by methionine synthase involves the transfer of a methyl group from methyltetrahydrofolate to homocysteine to generate tetrahydrofolate and methionine. The postulated reaction mechanism invokes an initial transfer of the methyl group to the enzyme to generate enzyme-bound methylcobalamin and tetrahydrofolate. Enzyme-bound methylcobalamin then donates its methyl group to homocysteine to generate methionine and cob(I)alamin. The key questions that were addressed in this study were the following: (1) Does the reaction involve a sequential or ping-pong mechanism? (2) Is enzyme-bound cob(I)alamin a kinetically competent intermediate? (3) If the reaction does involve a sequential mechanism, what is the nature of the "free" enzyme to which the substrates bind; i.e., is the prosthetic group in the cob(I)alamin or methylcobalamin state? Both the steady-state and rapid reaction studies were conducted at 25 degrees C under anaerobic conditions. Initial velocity analysis under steady-state conditions revealed a family of parallel lines suggesting either a ping-pong mechanism or an ordered sequential mechanism. Steady-state product inhibition studies provided evidence for an ordered sequential mechanism in which the first substrate to bind is methyltetrahydrofolate and the last product to be released is tetrahydrofolate. Pre-steady-state kinetic studies were then conducted to determine the rate constants for the various reactions. Enzyme-bound cob(I)alamin was shown to react very rapidly with methyltetrahydrofolate (with an observed rate constant of 250 s-1 versus a turnover number under maximal velocity conditions of 19 s-1).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Studies of the CobA-type ATP:Co(I)rrinoid adenosyltransferase enzyme of Methanosarcina mazei strain Go1

Although methanogenic archaea use B(12) extensively as a methyl carrier for methanogenesis, little is known about B(12) metabolism in these prokaryotes or any other archaea. To improve our understanding of how B(12) metabolism differs between bacteria and archaea, the gene encoding the ATP:co(I)rrinoid adenosyltransferase in Methanosarcina mazei strain G?1 (open reading frame MM3138, referred to as cobA(Mm) here) was cloned and used to restore coenzyme B(12) synthesis in a Salmonella enterica strain lacking the housekeeping CobA enzyme. cobA(Mm) protein was purified and its initial biochemical analysis performed. In vitro, the activity is enhanced 2.5-fold by the addition of Ca(2+) ions, but the activity was not enhanced by Mg(2+) and, unlike the S. enterica CobA enzyme, it was >50% inhibited by Mn(2+). The CobA(Mm) enzyme had a K(m)(ATP) of 3 microM and a K(m)(HOCbl) of 1 microM. Unlike the S. enterica enzyme, CobA(Mm) used cobalamin (Cbl) as a substrate better than cobinamide (Cbi; a Cbl precursor); the beta phosphate of ATP was required for binding to the enzyme. A striking difference between CobA(Se) and CobA(Mm) was the use of ADP as a substrate by CobA(Mm), suggesting an important role for the gamma phosphate of ATP in binding. The results from (31)P-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy experiments showed that triphosphate (PPP(i)) is the reaction by-product; no cleavage of PPP(i) was observed, and the enzyme was only slightly inhibited by pyrophosphate (PP(i)). The data suggested substantial variations in ATP binding and probably corrinoid binding between CobA(Se) and CobA(Mm) enzymes.
