EC | 2.1.1.384 | ||||
Accepted name: | [methyl-Co(III) methoxylated-aromatic-compound-specific corrinoid protein]—tetrahydromethanopterin methyltransferase | ||||
Reaction: | a [methyl-Co(III) methoxylated-aromatic-compound-specific corrinoid protein] + tetrahydromethanopterin = N5-methyltetrahydromethanopterin + a [Co(I) methoxylated-aromatic-compound-specific corrinoid protein] | ||||
Other name(s): | mtoA (gene name) | ||||
Systematic name: | [methylated methoxylated-aromatic-compound-specific corrinoid protein]:tetrahydromethanopterin methyltransferase | ||||
Comments: | The enzyme has been characterized from several archaeal species. In the methanogenic archaeon Methermicoccus shengliensis the enzyme participates in methanogenesis from methoxylated aromatic compounds, while in the non-methanogenic Archaeoglobus fulgidus it participates in methoxydotrophic growth. The enzyme catalyses the transfer of a methyl group bound to the cobalt cofactor of a dedicated corrinoid protein (MtoC) to tetrahydromethanopterin or tetrahydrosarcinapterin. cf. EC 2.1.1.385, [methyl-Co(III) methoxylated-aromatic-compound-specific corrinoid protein]—tetrahydrofolate methyltransferase. | ||||
