MeCbl and AdoCbl are considered the biologically active forms, serving as cofactors in the metabolism of methylmalonic acid (MMA) and homocysteine (HCY). Impaired conversion of these metabolites leads to their pathological accumulation, resulting in severe cellular damage. This is precisely what occurs in cblC deficiency, a rare inborn disorder caused by mutations in the MMACHC protein, which plays a crucial role in binding and processing the various cobalamin forms. Mutations affecting MMACHC function impair its ability to correctly handle cobalamins, leading to the disease. In this study, we evaluated the impact of various cobalamin forms, specifically AdoCbl, MeCbl, and CNCbl, on the stability and oligomeric organization of the wild type MMACHC protein, using circular dichroism spectroscopy, native gel electrophoresis, and small-angle X-ray scattering. Moreover, isothermal titration calorimetry experiments provided insights into the thermodynamic parameters governing MMACHC binding to these cobalamins. In addition, we also assessed how the R161Q mutation in MMACHC alters the affinity of this protein for the different vitamin B12 forms, leading to decreased stability and impaired homodimerization, a process likely relevant to its functional role.

Most animals exhibit cyclic behavioural transitions between sleep and wakefulness. Highly interconnected and complex networks of neurones, which release neurotransmitters, particularly noradrenaline, that target astrocytes by volume transmission, support the arousal system. Astrocyte noradrenergic signalling pathways are intricately connected to energy metabolism, whereby noradrenaline stimulates metabolism and leads to changes in cellular morphology, which is consistent with the maturation, territorial reach and complexity of these glial cells. We briefly discuss historic hypotheses contributing to the ever-going notion that cellular morphology and function affect each other. The message is that astrocytes contribute to sleep-wake transitions through the regulation of homeostatic control; these glial cells are responsible for ionostasis, metabolism, biosynthesis and degradation of neurotransmitters and the regulation of microcirculation and interstitial fluid flow. By regulating brain homeostasis, astrocytes in turn affect neuronal activity in the context of sleep-arousal regulation. \"It's complicated.\"<sup>®</sup> (Arne Schousboe, Denmark).</p>","PeriodicalId":719,"journal":{"name":"Neurochemical Research","volume":"50 4","pages":"218"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144504443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
