Entry
EC 2.1.1.378                Enzyme                                 
Name
[methyl-Co(III) glycine betaine-specific corrinoid protein]---tetrahydrofolate methyltransferase;
mtgA (gene name);
DSY3157 (locus name)
Class
Transferases;
Transferring one-carbon groups;
Methyltransferases
Sysname
[methyl-Co(III) glycine betaine-specific corrinoid protein]:tetrahydrofolate N-methyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
a [methyl-Co(III) glycine betaine-specific corrinoid protein] + tetrahydrofolate = a [Co(I) glycine betaine-specific corrinoid protein] + 5-methyltetrahydrofolate [RN:R02289]
Reaction(KEGG)
R02289
Substrate
[methyl-Co(III) glycine betaine-specific corrinoid protein];
tetrahydrofolate [CPD:C00101]
Product
[Co(I) glycine betaine-specific corrinoid protein];
5-methyltetrahydrofolate [CPD:C00440]
Comment
This enzyme, characterized from the anaerobic bacterium Desulfitobacterium hafniense Y51, catalyses a similar reaction to that of EC 2.1.1.258, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate---corrinoid/iron-sulfur protein Co-methyltransferase, but in the opposite direction, transferring a methyl group from a methylated corrinoid protein to tetrahydrofolate. The corrinoid protein is specifically methylated by EC 2.1.1.376, glycine betaine---corrinoid protein Co-methyltransferase.
