| Product Name | [methyl-Co(III) tetramethylammonium-specific corrinoid protein]:coenzyme M methyltransferase |
| Example Structure | ![]() |
| Synonyms | MtqA, tetramethylammonium:coenzyme M methyltransferase |
| EC Number | 2.1.1.253 |
| CAS Registry Number | |
| Comments | The enzyme, which is involved in methanogenesis from tetramethylammonium, catalyses the transfer of a methyl group from a corrinoid protein (see EC 2.1.1.252, tetramethylammonium¡ªcorrinoid protein Co-methyltransferase), where it is bound to the cobalt cofactor, to coenzyme M, forming the substrate for EC 2.8.4.1, coenzyme-B sulfoethylthiotransferase, the enzyme that catalyses the final step in methanogenesis. |
| Cofactor | |
| History | |
| Reactions | A [methyl-Co(III) tetramethylammonium-specific corrinoid protein] + coenzyme M = methyl-CoM + a [Co(I) tetramethylammonium-specific corrinoid protein]. |
