| Accepted name: |
[methyl coenzyme M reductase]-L-arginine C-5-methyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + a [methyl coenzyme-M reductase]-L-arginine + reduced acceptor = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + L-methionine + 5′-deoxyadenosine + a [methyl coenzyme-M reductase]-(5S)-C-methyl-L-arginine + acceptor |
| Other name(s): |
methanogenesis marker protein 10; Mmp10 |
| Systematic name: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:[methyl coenzyme M reductase]-L-arginine C-5-(S)-methyltransferase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, present in methanogenic archaea, catalyses a modification of an L-arginine residue at the active site of EC 2.8.4.1, coenzyme-B sulfoethylthiotransferase (better known as methyl-coenzyme M reductase), which catalyses the last and methane-releasing step of methanogenesis. The enzyme is a radical AdoMet (radical SAM) enzyme and contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster and a Coα-[α-(5-hydroxybenzimidazolyl)]-cobamide cofactor. The methyl group, which is derived from S-adenosyl-L-methionine, is transferred to the cob(I)amide cofactor, forming methylcob(III)amide as an intermediate carrier, before being transferred to the arginine residue. |
