Comments
According to the literature [10], this enzyme catalyzes the following reactions:
(A) Transfer of methyl group from the sulfur atom of SAM to the C2 (sp2 carbon) of uroporphyrinogen III:
(B) Isomerization; Shift of double-bond position (from N=C-C to N-C=C):
(C) Isomerization; Shift of double-bond position (from C=C-C to C-C=C), forming precorrin-1:
(D) Transfer of methyl group from the sulfur atom of SAM to the C7 (sp2 carbon) of precorrin-1:
(E) Isomerization; Shift of double-bond position (from N=C-C to N-C=C):
(F) Isomerization; Shift of double-bond position (from C=C-C to C-C=C), producing precorrin-2:
###
During the following reactions, Asp47 (PDB;1s4d) acts as a general base to deprotonate the C5 or C10 methylene.
(C) Isomerization; Shift of double-bond position (from C=C-C to C-C=C), forming precorrin-1:
(F) Isomerization; Shift of double-bond position (from C=C-C to C-C=C), producing precorrin-2:
