[18] [19] From uroporphyrinogen III to precorrin-2 [edit] The enzyme CobA catalyses two methylations, to give precorrin-2: [20] (1a) uroporphyrinogen III + S-adenosyl methionine precorrin-1 + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (1b) precorrin-1 + S-adenosyl methionine precorrin-2 + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine From precorrin-2 to precorrin-3A [edit] The enzyme CobI then converts this to precorrin-3A: [18] precorrin-2 + S-adenosyl methionine precorrin-3A + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine From precorrin-3A to precorrin-3B [edit] Next, the enzyme CobG transforms precorrin-3A to precorrin-3B: [18] precorrin-3A + NADH + H + + O 2 precorrin-3B + NAD + + H 2 O This enzyme is an oxidoreductase that requires oxygen and hence the reaction can only operate under aerobic conditions
Increased oxidative stress and energy depletion contribute to cellular dysfunction and apoptosis, highlighting the need for antioxidant therapies
