IUBMB Comments

The enzyme, present in methanogenic archaea, catalyses a modification of an L-arginine residue at the active site of EC 2.8.4.1, coenzyme-B sulfoethylthiotransferase (better known as methyl-coenzyme M reductase), which catalyses the last and methane-releasing step of methanogenesis. The enzyme is a radical AdoMet (radical SAM) enzyme and contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster and a Coα-[α-(5-hydroxybenzimidazolyl)]-cobamide cofactor. The methyl group, which is derived from S-adenosyl-L-methionine, is transferred to the cob(I)amide cofactor, forming methylcob(III)amide as an intermediate carrier, before being transferred to the arginine residue.

The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms

Synonyms
methanogenesis marker protein 10, ma4551, more
