EC 2.1.1.378     
Accepted name: [methyl-Co(III) glycine betaine-specific corrinoid protein]—tetrahydrofolate methyltransferase
Reaction: a [methyl-Co(III) glycine betaine-specific corrinoid protein] + tetrahydrofolate = a [Co(I) glycine betaine-specific corrinoid protein] + 5-methyltetrahydrofolate
Other name(s): mtgA (gene name); DSY3157 (locus name)
Systematic name: [methyl-Co(III) glycine betaine-specific corrinoid protein]:tetrahydrofolate N-methyltransferase
Comments: This enzyme, characterized from the anaerobic bacterium Desulfitobacterium hafniense Y51, catalyses a similar reaction to that of EC 2.1.1.258, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate—corrinoid/iron-sulfur protein Co-methyltransferase, but in the opposite direction, transferring a methyl group from a methylated corrinoid protein to tetrahydrofolate. The corrinoid protein is specifically methylated by EC 2.1.1.376, glycine betaine—corrinoid protein Co-methyltransferase.
