Entry
EC 2.1.1.252                Enzyme                                 
Name
tetramethylammonium---corrinoid protein Co-methyltransferase;
mtqB (gene name);
tetramethylammonium methyltransferase
Class
Transferases;
Transferring one-carbon groups;
Methyltransferases
Sysname
tetramethylammonium:5-hydroxybenzimidazolylcobamide Co-methyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
tetramethylammonium + a [Co(I) tetramethylammonium-specific corrinoid protein] = a [methyl-Co(III) tetramethylammonium-specific corrinoid protein] + trimethylamine [RN:R10017]
Reaction(KEGG)
R10017
Substrate
tetramethylammonium [CPD:C20292];
[Co(I) tetramethylammonium-specific corrinoid protein]
Product
[methyl-Co(III) tetramethylammonium-specific corrinoid protein];
trimethylamine [CPD:C00565]
Comment
The enzyme, which catalyses the transfer of a methyl group from tetramethylammonium to a tetramethylammonium-specific corrinoid protein (MtqC), is involved in methanogenesis from tetramethylammonium. Methylation of the corrinoid protein requires the central cobalt to be in the Co(I) state. During methylation the cobalt is oxidized to the Co(III) state. The methylated corrinoid protein is substrate for EC 2.1.1.253, methylated tetramethylammonium-specific corrinoid protein:coenzyme M methyltransferase.
