Enzyme Information
| 2.8.4.1 |
Coenzyme-B sulfoethylthiotransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt D9PXZ6
Methyl-CoM + CoB = CoM-S-S-CoB + methane.
-!- This enzyme catalyzes the final step in methanogenesis, the biological production of methane. -!- This important anaerobic process is carried out only by methanogenic archaea. -!- The enzyme can also function in reverse, for anaerobic oxidation of methane. -!- The enzyme requires the hydroporphinoid nickel complex coenzyme F(430). -!- Highly specific for coenzyme B with a heptanoyl chain; ethyl CoM and difluoromethyl CoM are poor substrates. -!- The sulfide sulfur can be replaced by selenium but not by oxygen.
