Protein attributes
| Sequence length | 1273 AA. |
| Sequence status | Complete. |
| Protein existence | Inferred from homology |
General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from methyl-cobalamin to homocysteine, yielding enzyme-bound cob(I)alamin and methionine. Subsequently, remethylates the cofactor using methyltetrahydrofolate By similarity. |
| Catalytic activity | 5-methyltetrahydrofolate + L-homocysteine = tetrahydrofolate + L-methionine. |
| Cofactor | Cobalamin By similarity. Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit By similarity. |
| Pathway | |
| Domain | Modular enzyme with four functionally distinct domains. The isolated Hcy-binding domain catalyzes methyl transfer from free methylcobalamin to homocysteine. The Hcy-binding domain in association with the pterin-binding domain catalyzes the methylation of cob(I)alamin by methyltetrahydrofolate and the methylation of homocysteine. The B12-binding domain binds the cofactor. The AdoMet activation domain binds S-adenosyl-L-methionine. Under aerobic conditions cob(I)alamin can be converted to inactive cob(II)alamin. Reductive methylation by S-adenosyl-L-methionine and flavodoxin regenerates methylcobalamin By similarity. |
| Miscellaneous | L-homocysteine is bound via the zinc atom By similarity. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the vitamin-B12 dependent methionine synthase family. Contains 1 AdoMet activation domain. Contains 1 B12-binding domain. Contains 1 B12-binding N-terminal domain. Contains 1 Hcy-binding domain. Contains 1 pterin-binding domain. |
