DE   glycine betaine--corrinoid protein Co-methyltransferase.
AN   glycine betaine methyltransferase.
CA   Co(I)-[glycine betaine-specific corrinoid protein] + glycine betaine +
CA   H(+) = methyl-Co(III)-[glycine betaine-specific corrinoid protein] +
CA   N,N-dimethylglycine.
CC   -!- The enzyme, which catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from
CC       glycine betaine to a glycine betaine-specific corrinoid protein
CC       (MtgC), is involved in methanogenesis from glycine betaine in some
CC       methanogenic archaea, and in glycine betaine degradation in some
CC       bacteria.
CC   -!- Unlike similar enzymes involved in methanogenesis from methylated C1
CC       compounds, this enzyme does not contain the unusual amino acid
CC       L-pyrrolysine.
