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 + [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] | | (1b) |
This enzyme involved in
methanogenesis from methylated thiols, such as
methanethiol,
dimethyl sulfide, and 3-S-methylmercaptopropionate.
