[Methyl-Co(III) corrinoid Fe-S protein] + tetrahydrofolate a [Co(I) corrinoid Fe-S protein] + 5-methyltetrahydrofolate

This enzyme catalyses the transfer of a methyl group 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.
