Comment(s) |
- The enzyme becomes inactivated occasionally during its cycle by
oxidation of Co(I) to Co(II).
- Reactivation by reductive methylation is catalyzed by the enzyme
itself, with S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the methyl donor and a
reducing system.
- For the mammalian enzyme, the reducing system involves NADPH and
EC 1.16.1.8.
- In bacteria, the reducing agent is flavodoxin, and no further
catalyst is needed (the flavodoxin is kept in the reduced state by
NADPH and EC 1.18.1.2).
- Acts on the monoglutamate as well as the triglutamate folate,
in contrast with EC 2.1.1.14, which acts only on the triglutamate.
