The name of this superfamily has been modified since the most recent official CATH+ release (v4_3_0). At the point of the last release, this superfamily was named:
"Deficiency of MCM in man causes an often fatal disorder of organic acid metabolism termed methylmalonic acidemia. The sequences of eukaryotic and prokaryotic MCM are rather well conserved. In eukaryotes MCM is located in the mitochondrial matrix and is a homodimer of a polypeptide chain of about 710 amino acids. In bacteria MCM is a dimer of two non-identical, yet structurally related chains. This family also includes an Escherichia coli protein (gene sbm) whose function is not yet known.
A small degree of similarity is said PMID:2197274 to exist between MCM and the large subunit of the adenosylcobalamin-dependent enzyme ethanolamine ammonia-lyase, but this similarity is so weak that these two type of enzymes can not be detected by a single pattern.
