Structured_descriptionAutomated_descriptionPredicted to enable methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase activity. Predicted to be involved in L-methylmalonyl-CoA metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Expressed in body wall musculature; hypodermis; intestine; and pharynx. Used to study methylmalonic acidemia. Is an ortholog of human MCEE (methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceMethylmalonic aciduria is a genetically heterogeneous disorder of methylmalonate and cobalamin (vitamin B12) metabolism; the metabolism of propionyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA via the formation and isomerization of methylmalonyl-CoA is a critical metabolic pathway in humans; the defective conversion of L-methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA in the mitochondrial matrix causes hereditary methylmalonic acidemias, characterized by the accumulation of methylmalonic acid in tissues and secondary metabolic perturbations such as hyperglycinemia and hyperammonemia; affected individuals may suffer from developmental delay, renal disease, pancreatitis and metabolic infarction of the basal ganglia; C.elegans expresses the full complement of mammalian homologues for the conversion of propionyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA, including propionyl-CoA carboxylase subunits A and B (pcca-1,pccb-1), methylmalonic acidemia cobalamin A complementation group (mmaa-1), co(I)balaminadenosyltransferase (mmab-1), MMACHC (cblc-1), methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase (mce-1) and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (mmcm-1); deletion mutants of mmcm-1(ok1637), mmab-1(ok1484 and ok1493) and mce-1(ok243) displayed reduced 1-[14C]-propionate incorporation into macromolecules and produced increased amounts of methylmalonic acid in the culture medium, proving that a functional block in the pathway caused metabolite accumulation; lentiviral delivery of the C. elegans mmcm-1 into fibroblasts derived from a patient with mut class methylmalonic acidemia could partially restore propionate flux; the C. elegans mce-1 deletion mutant demonstrates for the first time that a lesion at the epimerase step of methylmalonyl-CoA metabolism can functionally impair flux through the methylmalonyl-CoA mutase pathway and suggests that malfunction of MCEE may cause methylmalonic acidemia in humans.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00027754

Reference (13)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
