Adenosylcobinamide-GDP ribazoletransferase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme Adenosylcobinamide-GDP ribazoletransferase (Template:EC number, CobS, cobalamin synthase, cobalamin-5'-phosphate synthase, cobalamin (5'-phosphate) synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name adenosylcobinamide-GDP:alpha-ribazole ribazoletransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(1) adenosylcobinamide-GDP + alpha-ribazole $\rightleftharpoons$ GMP + adenosylcobalamin

(2) adenosylcobinamide-GDP + alpha-ribazole 5'-phosphate $\rightleftharpoons$ GMP + adenosylcobalamin 5'-phosphate

This enzyme is part of the biosynthetic pathway to cobalamin (vitamin B₁₂) in bacteria.
