EC 6.3.5.9     
Accepted name: hydrogenobyrinic acid a,c-diamide synthase (glutamine-hydrolysing)
Reaction: 2 ATP + hydrogenobyrinic acid + 2 L-glutamine + 2 H2O = 2 ADP + 2 phosphate + hydrogenobyrinic acid a,c-diamide + 2 L-glutamate

Other name(s): CobB
Systematic name: hydrogenobyrinic-acid:L-glutamine amido-ligase (AMP-forming)
Comments: This enzyme, which participates in the aerobic (late cobalt insertion) cobalamin biosynthesis pathway, generates hydrogenobyrinate a,c-diamide, the substrate required by EC 6.6.1.2, cobaltochelatase, which adds cobalt to the macrocycle. The equivalent reaction in the anaerobic cobalamin biosynthesis pathway is catalysed by EC 6.3.5.11, cobyrinate a,c-diamide synthase.
