| Comments |
The enzyme, which is involved in methanogenesis from methanol, catalyses the transfer of a methyl group from a corrinoid protein (see EC 2.1.1.90, methanol¡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. Free methylcob(I)alamin can substitute for the corrinoid protein in vitro [5]. |
