methyltransferase 2, MT2, transfers the methyl group from the methylated corrinoid protein to coenzyme M, i.e. 2-mercaptoethanesulfonic acid. Methyl-coenzyme M is then disproportionated, with one molecule being oxidized to CO2 to provide the six electrons required for reduction of three additional methyl-coenzyme M molecules to methane |

in the assay for methanol:coenzyme M methyltransferase activity cob(I)alamin can be substituted by cob(I)inamide which is devoid of the nucleotide loopmethylation of cob(I)inamide with methanol is dependent on imidazole but not on the demethylation of methylcob(III)inamide with coenzyme M |

the reaction for possible production of methanol from the anaerobic oxidation of methane can be reversed in vitro. Develoment of an in vitro functional assay that demonstrates MtaABC can catalyze the energetically unfavorable reverse reaction starting from methyl coenzyme M and generating methanol as a product, overview. MtaABC enzyme protein complex to catalyze the methyl transfer from methanol to CoM to form methyl-CoM, which is energetically favorable in the forward reaction. MtaB catalyzes a methyl transfer from methanol to the corrinoid cofactor of the MtaC subunit. MtaA then catalyzes the transfer of the methyl group to CoM to form methyl-CoM. DTNB assays for the forward and reverse MtaABC reactions. Methylcobalamin assay of purified recombinant MtaA.Demethylation of methylcobalamin in a CoM-dependent manner by MtaA |
