ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.250

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.1.1.250
Accepted Name
[trimethylamine--corrinoid protein] Co-methyltransferase
Alternative Name(s)
trimethylamine methyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
Co(I)-[trimethylamine-specific corrinoid protein] + trimethylamine + H(+) = methyl-Co(III)-[trimethylamine-specific corrinoid protein] + dimethylamine
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, which catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from trimethylamine to a trimethylamine-specific corrinoid protein (MttC), is involved in methanogenesis from trimethylamine.
  • 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.
