Abstract
The X-ray structures of coenzyme B12 (AdoCbl)-dependent eliminating isomerases complexed with adenosylmethylcobalamin (AdoMeCbl) have been determined. As judged from geometries, the Co-C bond in diol dehydratase (DD) is not activated even in the presence of substrate. In ethanolamine ammonia-lyase (EAL), the bond is elongated in the absence of substrate; in the presence of substrate, the complex likely exists in both pre- and post-homolysis states. The impacts of incorporating an extra CH2 group are different in the two enzymes: the DD active site is flexible, and AdoMeCbl binding causes large conformational changes that make DD unable to adopt the catalytic state, whereas the EAL active site is rigid, and AdoMeCbl binding does not induce significant conformational changes. Such flexibility and rigidity of the active sites might reflect the tightness of adenine binding. The structures provide good insights into the basis of the very low activity of AdoMeCbl in these enzymes.

Abstract
Adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) or coenzyme B12-dependent enzymes tend to undergo mechanism-based inactivation during catalysis or inactivation in the absence of substrate. Such inactivation may be inevitable because they use a highly reactive radical for catalysis, and side reactions of radical intermediates result in the damage of the coenzyme. How do living organisms address such inactivation when enzymes are inactivated by undesirable side reactions? We discovered reactivating factors for radical B12 eliminases. They function as releasing factors for damaged cofactor(s) from enzymes and thus mediate their exchange for intact AdoCbl. Since multiple turnovers and chaperone functions were demonstrated, they were renamed "reactivases" or "reactivating chaperones." They play an essential role in coenzyme recycling as part of the activity-maintaining systems for B12 enzymes. In this chapter, we describe our investigations on reactivating chaperones, including their discovery, gene cloning, preparation, characterization, activity assays, and mechanistic studies, that have been conducted using a wide range of biochemical and structural methods that we have developed.

Abstract
Adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) or coenzyme B12-dependent enzymes catalyze intramolecular group-transfer reactions and ribonucleotide reduction in a wide variety of organisms from bacteria to animals. They use a super-reactive primary-carbon radical formed by the homolysis of the coenzyme's Co-C bond for catalysis and thus belong to the larger class of "radical enzymes." For understanding the general mechanisms of radical enzymes, it is of great importance to establish the general mechanism of AdoCbl-dependent catalysis using enzymes that catalyze the simplest reactions-such as diol dehydratase, glycerol dehydratase and ethanolamine ammonia-lyase. These enzymes are often called "eliminases." We have studied AdoCbl and eliminases for more than a half century. Progress has always been driven by the development of new experimental methodologies. In this chapter, we describe our investigations on these enzymes, including their metabolic roles, gene cloning, preparation, characterization, activity assays, and mechanistic studies, that have been conducted using a wide range of biochemical and structural methodologies we have developed.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are new antidiabetic drugs that reduce hyperglycemia by inhibiting the glucose reabsorption in renal proximal tubules. Clinical studies have shown that SGLT2 inhibitors not only improve glycemic control but also reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE, cardiovascular and total mortality, fatal or nonfatal myocardial infarction or stroke) and hospitalization for heart failure (HF), and improve outcome in chronic kidney disease. These cardiovascular and renal benefits have now been confirmed in both diabetes and non-diabetes patients. The precise mechanism(s) responsible for the protective effects are under intensive investigation. This review examines current evidence on the cardiovascular benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors, with a special emphasis on the vascular actions and their potential mechanisms.

Abstract
[Omega-(Adenosyl)alkyl]cobalamins (homoadenosylcobalamins) are useful analogues of adenosylcobalamin to get information about the distance between Co and C5', which is critical for Co-C bond activation. In order to use them as probes for exploring the active sites of enzymes, the coenzymic properties of homoadenosylcobalamins for diol dehydratase and ethanolamine ammonia-lyase were investigated. The kcat and kcat/Km values for adenosylmethylcobalamin were about 0.27% and 0.15% that for the regular coenzyme with diol dehydratase, respectively. The kcat/kinact value showed that the holoenzyme with this analogue becomes inactivated on average after about 3000 catalytic turnovers, indicating that the probability of inactivation during catalysis is almost 500 times higher than that for the regular holoenzyme. The kcat value for adenosylmethylcobalamin was about 0.13% that of the regular coenzyme for ethanolamine ammonia-lyase, as judged from the initial velocity, but the holoenzyme with this analogue underwent inactivation after on average about 50 catalytic turnovers. This probability of inactivation is 3800 times higher than that for the regular holoenzyme. When estimated from the spectra of reacting holoenzymes, the steady state concentration of cob(II)alamin intermediate from adenosylmethylcobalamin was very low with either diol dehydratase or ethanolamine ammonia-lyase, which is consistent with its extremely low coenzymic activity. In contrast, neither adenosylethylcobalamin nor adeninylpentylcobalamin served as active coenzyme for either enzyme and did not undergo Co-C bond cleavage upon binding to apoenzymes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adenosylcobalamin (coenzyme B(12)) serves as a cofactor for enzymatic radical reactions. The adenosyl radical, a catalytic radical in these reactions, is formed by homolysis of the cobalt-carbon bond of the coenzyme, although the mechanism of cleavage of its organometallic bond remains unsolved. RESULTS We determined the three-dimensional structures of diol dehydratase complexed with adeninylpentylcobalamin and with cyanocobalamin at 1.7 A and 1.9 A resolution, respectively, at cryogenic temperatures. In the adeninylpentylcobalamin complex, the adenine ring is bound parallel to the corrin ring as in the free form and methylmalonyl-CoA-mutase-bound coenzyme, but with the other side facing pyrrole ring C. All of its nitrogen atoms except for N(9) are hydrogen-bonded to mainchain amide oxygen and amide nitrogen atoms, a sidechain hydroxyl group, and a water molecule. As compared with the cyanocobalamin complex, the sidechain of Seralpha224 rotates by 120 degrees to hydrogen bond with N(3) of the adenine ring. CONCLUSIONS The structure of the adenine-ring-binding site provides a molecular basis for the strict specificity of diol dehydratase for the coenzyme adenosyl group. The superimposition of the structure of the free coenzyme on that of enzyme-bound adeninylpentylcobalamin demonstrated that the tight enzyme-coenzyme interactions at both the cobalamin moiety and adenine ring of the adenosyl group would inevitably lead to cleavage of the cobalt-carbon bond. Rotation of the ribose moiety around the glycosidic linkage makes the 5'-carbon radical accessible to the hydrogen atom of the substrate to be abstracted.

Abstract
A novel analog of adenosylcobalamin in which 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole and D-ribose moieties of the nucleotide loop are replaced by pyridine and the trimethylene group, respectively, was synthesized and examined for coenzymic function. The coordination of pyridine to the cobalt atom in this analog was stronger than that of 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole in the corresponding homolog. The adenosyl form of pyridyl analog served as partially active coenzyme for diol dehydratase. The kcat/Km values calculated from the initial velocity indicate that this analog is a better coenzyme than the 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazolyl or imidazolyl counterpart. However, the reaction with the pyridyl analog as coenzyme was accompanied with a concomitant inactivation during catalysis, with a kcat/Kinact value 50-100 times lower than that for adenosylcobalamin or the 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazolyl analog. Therefore, it can be concluded that the 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole moiety of adenosylcobalamin is important for continuous progress of a catalytic cycle by protecting the reactive intermediates from side reactions.

Abstract
Four analogs of adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) modified in the D-ribose moiety of the Co beta ligand were synthesized, and their coenzymic properties were studied with diol dehydratase of Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 8724. 2'-Deoxyadenosylcobalamin (2'-dAdoCbl) and 3'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin (3'-dAdoCbl) were active as coenzyme. 2',3'-Secoadenosylcobalamin (2',3'-secoAdoCbl), an analog bearing the same functional groups as AdoCbl but nicked between the 2' and 3' positions in the ribose moiety, and its 2',3'-dialdehyde derivative (2',3'-secoAdoCbl dialdehyde) were totally inactive analogs of the coenzyme. It is therefore evident that the beta-D-ribofuranose ring itself, possibly its rigid structure, is essential and much more important than the functional groups of the ribose moiety for coenzymic function (relative importance: beta-D-ribofuranose ring much greater than 3'-OH greater than 2'-OH greater than ether group). With 2'-dAdoCbl and 3'-dAdoCbl as coenzymes, an absorption peak at 478 nm appeared during enzymatic reaction, suggesting homolysis of the C-Co bond to form cob(II)alamin as intermediate. In the absence of substrate, the complexes of the enzyme with these active analogs underwent rapid inactivation by oxygen. This suggests that their C-Co bond is activated even in the absence of substrate by binding to the apoprotein. No significant spectral changes were observed with 2',3'-secoAdoCbl upon binding to the apoenzyme. In contrast, spectroscopic observation indicates that 2'3'-secoAdoCbl dialdehyde, another inactive analog, underwent gradual and irreversible cleavage of the C-Co bond by interaction with the apodiol dehydratase, forming the enzyme-bound cob(II)alamin without intermediates.
