ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.384

Accepted Name
[methyl-Co(III) methoxylated-aromatic-compound-specific corrinoid protein]--tetrahydromethanopterin methyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
5,6,7,8-tetrahydromethanopterin + methyl-Co(III)-[methoxylated-aromatic-compound-specific corrinoid protein] <=> 5-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydromethanopterin + Co(I)-[methoxylated-aromatic-compound-specific corrinoid protein] + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme has been characterized from several archaeal species.
  • In the methanogenic archaeon Methermicoccus shengliensis the enzyme participates in methanogenesis from methoxylated aromatic compounds, while in the non-methanogenic Archaeoglobus fulgidus it participates in methoxydotrophic growth.
  • The enzyme catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group bound to the cobalt cofactor of a dedicated corrinoid protein (MtoC) to tetrahydromethanopterin or tetrahydrosarcinapterin. cf. EC 2.1.1.385.
