IUBMB Comments

This enzyme, which forms part of the anaerobic (early cobalt insertion) cobalamin biosynthesis pathway, is an ATP-independent type II chelatase. Two distinct forms are known - a primordial form named CbiX, which is most common in archaea, and a strictly bacterial form named CbiK. See EC 6.6.1.2, cobaltochelatase, for the cobaltochelatase that participates in the aerobic cobalamin biosynthesis pathway.

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Archaea

Synonyms
cobalt chelatase, cbixl, cbixs, sirohydrochlorin-ferrochelatase, sirohydrochlorin cobaltochelatase, anaerobic cobalt chelatase, archaeal cobaltochelatase, more
