The specificity of the ATP:corrinoid
adenosyltransferase (CobA) enzyme of Salmonella enterica
serovar Typhimurium LT2 for its nucleotide substrate was tested using
ATP analogs and alternative nucleotide donors. The enzyme showed broad
specificity for the nucleotide base and required the 2'-OH group of the
ribosyl moiety of ATP for activity. 31P NMR spectroscopy
was used to identify inorganic triphosphate (PPPi) as the
byproduct of the reaction catalyzed by the CobA enzyme. Cleavage of
triphosphate into pyrophosphate and orthophosphate did not occur,
indicating that triphosphate cleavage was not required for release of
the adenosylcorrinoid product. Triphosphate was a strong
inhibitor of the reaction, with 85% of CobA activity lost when the
ATP/PPPi ratio present in the reaction mixture was 1:2.5.
