The α-subunit consists of an N-terminal carboxylase domain, a carboxyl transferase domains, and a C-terminal biotin carboxyl carrier protein domain (BCCP). The β-subunit is made up of an N- and a C- carboxyl transferase domain. During PCC catalysis, the BCCP domain plays a central role by transporting a carboxyl group from the α-subunit to the β-subunit, and finally to propionyl CoA carboxylase, resulting in the formation of methyl malonyl CoA. A point mutation in any of the subunits interferes with multimer assembly and function. Due to the association of this enzyme with propionic acidemia, a genetic metabolic disorder found in humans, PCC has become an enzyme of wide spread interest. Interestingly, unicellular eukaryotes like <i>Leishmania</i> also possess a PCC in their mitochondria that displays high sequence conservation with the human enzyme.
