ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.249

Accepted Name
[dimethylamine--corrinoid protein] Co-methyltransferase
Alternative Name(s)
dimethylamine methyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
Co(I)-[dimethylamine-specific corrinoid protein] + dimethylamine + H(+) <=> methyl-Co(III)-[dimethylamine-specific corrinoid protein] + methylamine
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, which catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from dimethylamine to a dimethylamine-specific corrinoid protein (MtbC), is involved in methanogenesis from dimethylamine.
  • The enzyme contains the unusual amino acid pyrrolysine.
  • Methylation of the corrinoid protein requires the central cobalt to be in the Co(I) state.
  • During methylation the cobalt is oxidized to the Co(III) state.
  • The methylated corrinoid protein is substrate for EC 2.1.1.247.
