Methylated-thiol-coenzyme M methyltransferase

Methylated-thiol-coenzyme M methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.251, mtsA (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name methylated-thiol:coenzyme M methyltransferase.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:

methanethiol + coenzyme Mmethyl-CoM + hydrogen sulfide (overall reaction)

 

 

 

 

(1)

methanethiol + [Co(I) methylated-thiol-specific corrinoid protein] ⇌ [methyl-Co(III) methylated-thiol-specific corrinoid protein] + hydrogen sulfide

 

 

 

 

(1a)

[methyl-Co(III) methylated-thiol-specific corrinoid protein] + coenzyme M ⇌ methyl-CoM + [Co(I) methylated-thiol-specific corrinoid protein]
