| EC | 2.1.1.350 | ||
| Accepted name: | menaquinone C8-methyltransferase | ||
| Reaction: | (1) 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + a menaquinone + reduced flavodoxin = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + L-methionine + 5′-deoxyadenosine + an 8-methylmenaquinone + oxidized flavodoxin (2) 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + a 2-demethylmenaquinone + reduced flavodoxin = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + L-methionine + 5′-deoxyadenosine + a 2-demethyl-8-methylmenaquinone + oxidized flavodoxin |
||
| Other name(s): | mqnK (gene name); menK (gene name) | ||
| Systematic name: | S-adenosyl-L-methionine:menaquinone C8-methyltransferase | ||
| Comments: | The enzyme, found in a wide range of bacteria and archaea, is a radical SAM (AdoMet) enzyme that utilizes two molecules of S-adenosyl-L-methionine, one as the methyl group donor, and one for the creation of a 5′-deoxyadenosine radical that drives the reaction forward. | ||
