Crystal Structure Analysis of human CLYBL in apo form
Structural highlights
FunctionCLYBL_HUMAN Mitochondrial malate and beta-methylmalate synthase, which may be involved in vitamin B12 metabolism (Probable). Acts both as a malate synthase, converting glyoxylate and acetyl-CoA to malate. Also acts as a beta-methylmalate synthase by mediating conversion of glyoxylate and propionyl-CoA to beta-methylmalate (PubMed:24334609).[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedCLYBL encodes a ubiquitously expressed mitochondrial enzyme, conserved across all vertebrates, whose cellular activity and pathway assignment are unknown. Its homozygous loss is tolerated in seemingly healthy individuals, with reduced circulating B12 levels being the only and consistent phenotype reported to date. Here, by combining enzymology, structural biology, and activity-based metabolomics, we report that CLYBL operates as a citramalyl-CoA lyase in mammalian cells. Cells lacking CLYBL accumulate citramalyl-CoA, an intermediate in the C5-dicarboxylate metabolic pathway that includes itaconate, a recently identified human anti-microbial metabolite and immunomodulator. We report that CLYBL loss leads to a cell-autonomous defect in the mitochondrial B12 metabolism and that itaconyl-CoA is a cofactor-inactivating, substrate-analog inhibitor of the mitochondrial B12-dependent methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MUT). Our work de-orphans the function of human CLYBL and reveals that a consequence of exposure to the immunomodulatory metabolite itaconate is B12 inactivation.
