| Accepted name: |
cobalt-precorrin-6B (C15)-methyltransferase [decarboxylating] |

| Other name(s): |
cbiT (gene name); S-adenosyl-L-methionine:precorrin-7 C15-methyltransferase (C-12-decarboxylating); cobalt-precorrin-7 (C15)-methyltransferase [decarboxylating] |
| Systematic name: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:precorrin-6B C15-methyltransferase (C-12-decarboxylating) |
| Comments: |
This enzyme, which participates in the anaerobic (early cobalt insertion) adenosylcobalamin biosynthesis pathway, catalyses both methylation at C-15 and decarboxylation of the C-12 acetate side chain of cobalt-precorrin-6B. The equivalent activity in the aerobic adenosylcobalamin biosynthesis pathway is catalysed by the bifunctional enzyme EC 2.1.1.132, precorrin-6B C5,15-methyltransferase (decarboxylating). |
