RamA | a 60-kDa monomeric iron sulfur protein, is a protein required for reductive activation of corrinoid-dependent methylamine methyltransferase reactions in methanogenic archaea, it is required for in vitro ATP-dependent reductive activation of trimethylamine:CoM methyl transfer mediating the ATP-dependent reductive activation of Co(II) corrinoid to the Co(I) state for the trimethylamine corrinoid protein, MttC, overview | Methanosarcina barkeri |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
metabolism | archaeal methane formation from methylamines is initiated by distinct methyltransferases with specificity for monomethylamine, dimethylamine, or trimethylamine. Each methylamine methyltransferase methylates a cognate corrinoid protein, which is subsequently demethylated by a second methyltransferase to form methyl-coenzyme M, the direct methane precursor | Methanosarcina barkeri |
