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