摘要
The energy conserving corrinoid containing MtrA-H complex from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum is composed of eight different subunits of which MtrA harbors the corrinoid prosthetic group, the corrinoid being bound in the base-off/His-on configuration. Based on sequence comparisons it was recently proposed that His(35) Of MtrA is the active site histidine, We report here that His(84) rather than His(35) is the axial ligand to the cobamide in MtrA, (C) 1998 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
