Conserved residues in 12 orthologues of CobY were targeted for mutagenesis. The targeted residues are primarily associated with the active site, where most are in close proximity to the pyrophosphorylase consensus sequence which is involved in nucleotide binding. There is no satisfactory explanation for the conservation of Pro94. Interestingly most of the conserved residues can be changed without loss of function.
