Function

Cobalamin (vitamin B12) cytosolic chaperone that catalyzes the reductive decyanation of cyanocob(III)alamin (cyanocobalamin, CNCbl) to yield cob(II)alamin and cyanide, using FAD or FMN as cofactors and NADPH as cosubstrate (PubMed:18779575, PubMed:19700356, PubMed:21697092, PubMed:25809485). Cyanocobalamin constitutes the inactive form of vitamin B12 introduced from the diet, and is converted into the active cofactors methylcobalamin (MeCbl) involved in methionine biosynthesis, and 5'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) involved in the TCA cycle (PubMed:19801555). Forms a complex with the lysosomal transporter ABCD4 and its chaperone LMBRD1, to transport cobalamin across the lysosomal membrane into the cytosol (PubMed:25535791). The processing of cobalamin in the cytosol occurs in a multiprotein complex composed of at least MMACHC, MMADHC, MTRR (methionine synthase reductase) and MTR (methionine synthase) which may contribute to shuttle safely and efficiently cobalamin towards MTR in order to produce methionine (PubMed:21071249, PubMed:27771510). Also acts as a glutathione transferase by catalyzing the dealkylation of the alkylcob(III)alamins MeCbl and AdoCbl, using the thiolate of glutathione for nucleophilic displacement to generate cob(I)alamin and the corresponding glutathione thioether (PubMed:19801555, PubMed:21697092, PubMed:22642810, PubMed:25809485). The conversion of incoming MeCbl or AdoCbl into a common intermediate cob(I)alamin is necessary to meet the cellular needs for both cofactors (PubMed:19801555). Cysteine and homocysteine cannot substitute for glutathione in this reaction (PubMed:19801555).

Activity summary

MMACHC also known as CblC is a protein involved in cobalamin (vitamin B12) metabolism. It acts as an intermediary in the processing of cobalamin facilitating its conversion into active derivatives needed for cellular reactions. MMACHC shows a molecular mass of around 31 kDa. This protein is mainly expressed in the cytosol of various tissues with high expression levels in the liver and brain. Proper functioning of MMACHC plays an important role in maintaining cellular metabolism and enzymatic reactions.

Biological function summary

MMACHC enables the conversion of cobalamin to its cofactor forms methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. These forms are vital for key enzymatic reactions specifically in the methionine and methylmalonyl-CoA pathways. MMACHC functions as part of a larger cobalamin metabolic complex that also involves other critical enzymes and cofactors. This protein ensures proper activation of vitamin B12 essential for DNA synthesis and fatty acid metabolism.

Pathways

MMACHC is integral to both the methionine and methylmalonyl-CoA metabolic pathways. It interacts with methylmalonic acidemia proteins such as MUT and methionine synthase which are important for amino acid metabolism and red blood cell formation. These interactions coordinate the proper utilization of cobalamin influencing homocysteine levels and preventing its accumulation in the body which is significant for nerve function and cardiovascular health.

Associated diseases and disorders

MMACHC mutations result in methylmalonic acidemia with homocystinuria a severe metabolic disorder. This condition highlights the malfunctioning of cobalamin metabolism leading to toxic accumulation of metabolites. MMACHC is also linked to certain neurodegenerative conditions due to its role in neuron health via proper vitamin B12 utilization. Researchers continue to study its complex interactions with other proteins including those in the transcobalamin complex to better understand how defects in its activity lead to disease manifestations.
