DE   methylecgonone synthase.
CA   (+)-ecgonone + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = ecgonone methyl ester +
CA   S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine.
CC   -!- Isolated from the plant Erythroxylum novogranatense.
CC   -!- The enzyme, which is highly stereoselective, is involved in cocaine
CC       biosynthesis.
CC   -!- The substrate, ecgonone, is unstable, and in the absence of the
CC       methyltransferase decarboxylates into tropinone.
