- [Methyl-Co(III) corrinoid Fe-S protein] + tetrahydrofolate a [Co(I) corrinoid Fe-S protein] + 5-methyltetrahydrofolate
This enzyme catalyses the transfer of a carbon atom and associated hydrogen atoms from the N5 position of methyltetrahydrofolate to the 5-methoxybenzimidazolylcobamide cofactor of a corrinoid/Fe-S protein, containing a corrin ring similar to that in cobalamin. Although called a methyl transferase, the net transfer is of one carbon atom and two hydrogen atoms – the methyltetrahydrofolate contains only two hydrogen atoms more than the tetrahydrofolate. The cobalt atom is able to change oxidation state by obtaining electrons frpm the 4Fe-4S complex in the protein.[4]
