Comments
This enzyme (CbiK) is evolutionarily related to CbiXs (S00842 in EzCatDB), which has a single domain forming a homodimer (see [9]).
According to the literature [9], this enzyme catalyzes the insertion of cobalt ion into a tetra-pyrrole, sirohydrochlorin (SHC). This reaction involves several steps including removal of water from the metal ion, deprotonation of the tetra-pyrrole nitrogens (see [9]).
(1) The binding of cobalt to the active site of this enzyme (His145, His207 and Glu175 in 1qgo) facilitates the desolvation step.
(2) The cobalt ion is displaced from the binding site by the introduction of the SHC acetate group, inducing the conformational change both the active site and the tetra-pyrrole molecule.
(3) Either one of both of the histidine residues acting as general bases, to deprotonate the pyrroles, leading to the formation of a nitrogen-cobalt chelation.
