Methylmalonyl-CoA

Methylmalonyl-CoA is the thioester consisting of coenzyme A linked to methylmalonic acid. It is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of succinyl-CoA, which plays an essential role in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (aka the Citric Acid Cycle, or Krebs Cycle).[1] The compound is sometimes referred to as "methylmalyl-CoA".[2]

Biosynthesis and metabolism
Illustration of the role of Methylmalonyl-CoA in the Citric Acid Cycle.[3]

Methylmalonyl-CoA results from the metabolism of fatty acid with an odd number of carbons or from cholesterol side-chains, forming Propionyl-CoA.[4] Propionyl-CoA and bicarbonate are converted to Methylmalonyl-CoA by the enzyme propionyl-CoA Carboxylase.[1] It then is converted into succinyl-CoA by methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MUT). This reaction is a reversible isomerization. In this way, the compound enters the Citric Acid Cycle. The following diagram demonstrates the aforementioned reaction:[2]

Propionyl CoA + Bicarbonate → Methylmalonyl CoA → Succinyl CoA

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 plays an integral role in this reaction. Coenzyme B12 (adenosyl-cobalamin) is an organometallic form of Vitamin B12 and serves as the cofactor of Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, which is an essential enzyme in the human body.[5] The transformation of Methylmalonyl-CoA to Succinyl-CoA by this enzyme is a radical reaction.[5]

Methylmalonic Acidemia (MMA)
Main article: Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase deficiency

This disease occurs when methylmalonyl-CoA mutase is unable to isomerize sufficient amounts of methylmalonyl-CoA into succinyl-CoA.[6] This causes a buildup of propionic and/or methylmalonic acid, which has effects on infants ranging from severe brain damage to death.[4] The disease is linked to Vitamin B12, which is the metabolic precursor to methylmalonyl-CoA mutase.[6][3]
