DE   menaquinone C(8)-methyltransferase.
CA   (1) a menaquinone + reduced [flavodoxin] + 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine =
CA   5'-deoxyadenosine + an 8-methylmenaquinone + 3 H(+) + L-methionine +
CA   oxidized [flavodoxin] + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine.
CA   (2) a 2-demethylmenaquinone + reduced [flavodoxin] + 2 S-adenosyl-L-
CA   methionine = 5'-deoxyadenosine + a 2-demethyl-8-methylmenaquinone +
CA   3 H(+) + L-methionine + oxidized [flavodoxin] + S-adenosyl-L-
CA   homocysteine.
CC   -!- The enzyme, found in a wide range of bacteria and archaea, is a
CC       radical SAM (AdoMet) enzyme that utilizes two molecules of
CC       S-adenosyl-L-methionine, one as the methyl group donor, and one for
CC       the creation of a 5'-deoxyadenosine radical that drives the reaction
CC       forward.
