ID   2.1.1.384
DE   [methyl-Co(III) methoxylated-aromatic-compound-specific corrinoid
DE   protein]--tetrahydromethanopterin methyltransferase.
CA   5,6,7,8-tetrahydromethanopterin + methyl-Co(III)-[methoxylated-aromatic-
CA   compound-specific corrinoid protein] = 5-methyl-5,6,7,8-
CA   tetrahydromethanopterin + Co(I)-[methoxylated-aromatic-compound-specific
CA   corrinoid protein] + H(+).
CC   -!- The enzyme has been characterized from several archaeal species.
CC   -!- In the methanogenic archaeon Methermicoccus shengliensis the enzyme
CC       participates in methanogenesis from methoxylated aromatic compounds,
CC       while in the non-methanogenic Archaeoglobus fulgidus it participates
CC       in methoxydotrophic growth.
CC   -!- The enzyme catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group bound to the
CC       cobalt cofactor of a dedicated corrinoid protein (MtoC) to
CC       tetrahydromethanopterin or tetrahydrosarcinapterin. cf. EC 2.1.1.385.
