EC 3.7.1.12     
Accepted name: cobalt-precorrin 5A hydrolase
Reaction: cobalt-precorrin-5A + H2O = cobalt-precorrin-5B + acetaldehyde + 2 H+

Other name(s): CbiG
Systematic name: cobalt-precorrin 5A acylhydrolase
Comments: This enzyme hydrolyses the ring A acetate δ-lactone of cobalt-precorrin-5A resulting in the loss of the C-20 carbon and its attached methyl group in the form of acetaldehyde. This is a key reaction in the contraction of the porphyrin-type tetrapyrrole ring and its conversion to a corrin ring in the anaerobic (early cobalt insertion) adenosylcobalamin biosynthesis pathway.
