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).

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

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.
