ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.383

Accepted Name
L-carnitine--corrinoid protein Co-methyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
(R)-carnitine + Co(I)-[quaternary-amine-specific corrinoid protein] + H(+) <=> (3R)-4-(dimethylamino)-3-hydroxybutanoate + methyl-Co(III)-[quaternary-amine-specific corrinoid protein]
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Eubacterium limosum, is a component of a system that transfers a methyl group from L-carnitine to tetrahydrofolate, as part of an L-carnitine degradation pathway.
  • The resulting 5-methyltetrahydrofolate is processed to acetyl-CoA via the Wood--Ljungdahl pathway.
