EC 2.1.1.245 Details
EC number
2.1.1.245
Accepted name
5-methyltetrahydrosarcinapterin—corrinoid/iron-sulfur protein Co-methyltransferase
Reaction
a [methyl-Co(III) corrinoid Fe-S protein] + tetrahydrosarcinapterin = a [Co(I) corrinoid Fe-S protein] + 5-methyltetrahydrosarcinapterin
Other name(s)
cdhD (gene name), cdhE (gene name)
Systematic name
5-methyltetrahydrosarcinapterin:corrinoid/iron-sulfur protein methyltransferase
Comment
Catalyses the transfer of a methyl group from the cobamide cofactor of a corrinoid/Fe-S protein to the N5 group of tetrahydrosarcinapterin. Forms, together with EC 1.2.7.4, anaerobic carbon-monoxide dehydrogenase, and EC 2.3.1.169, CO-methylating acetyl-CoA synthase, the acetyl-CoA decarbonylase/synthase complex that catalyses the demethylation of acetyl-CoA in a reaction that also forms CO2. This reaction is a key step in methanogenesis from acetate.
