Figure 3-5. Two schemes depicting the conversion of cob(II)alamin to AdoCbl by the<br />
MSR-ATR system. In scheme 1, MSR reduces cob(II)alamin to<br />
cob(I)alamin and releases it free in solution for diffusion to the ATR. This<br />
scheme seems unlikely due to the high nucleophilic nature of cob(I)alamin.<br />
In scheme 2, MSR reduces cob(II)alamin while bound to the ATR thereby<br />
sequestering the highly reactive cob(I)alamin molecule and protecting it from<br />
oxidation and then adenosylation can occur. MSR, a dual flavoprotein,<br />
mediates the one electron transfer to cob(II)alamin from the two-electron<br />
donor, NADPH.
