Abstract
Vitamin B12 is required by humans and a variety of other organisms for diverse metabolic processes, but is produced only by a subset of microorganisms. The anaerobic biosynthesis of the “lower ligand” of B12, 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB), is the only unknown component of the B12 biosynthetic pathway. We report the identification of the

<abstract><p>Vitamin B<sub>12</sub>
(cobalamin) is required by humans and other organisms for diverse metabolic processes, although only a subset of prokaryotes is capable of synthesizing B<sub>12</sub>
and other cobamide cofactors. The complete aerobic and anaerobic pathways for the de novo biosynthesis of B<sub>12</sub>
are known, with the exception of the steps leading to the anaerobic biosynthesis of the lower ligand, 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB). Here, we report the identification and characterization of the complete pathway for anaerobic DMB biosynthesis. This pathway, identified in the obligate anaerobic bacterium <italic>Eubacterium limosum</italic>
, is composed of five previously uncharacterized genes, <italic>bzaABCDE</italic>
, that together direct DMB production when expressed in anaerobically cultured <italic>Escherichia coli</italic>
. Expression of different combinations of the <italic>bza</italic>
genes revealed that 5-hydroxybenzimidazole, 5-methoxybenzimidazole, and 5-methoxy-6-methylbenzimidazole, all of which are lower ligands of cobamides produced by other organisms, are intermediates in the pathway. The <italic>bza</italic>
gene content of several bacterial and archaeal genomes is consistent with experimentally determined structures of the benzimidazoles produced by these organisms, indicating that these genes can be used to predict cobamide structure. The identification of the <italic>bza</italic>
genes thus represents the last remaining unknown component of the biosynthetic pathway for not only B<sub>12</sub>
itself, but also for three other cobamide lower ligands whose biosynthesis was previously unknown. Given the importance of cobamides in environmental, industrial, and human-associated microbial metabolism, the ability to predict cobamide structure may lead to an improved ability to understand and manipulate microbial metabolism.</p>
