Methionine synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt P13009
5-methyltetrahydrofolate + L-homocysteine = tetrahydrofolate + L-methionine.
-!- The enzyme becomes inactivated occasionally during its cycle by oxidation of Co(I) to Co(II). -!- Reactivation by reductive methylation is catalyzed by the enzyme itself, with S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the methyl donor and a reducing system. -!- For the mammalian enzyme, the reducing system involves NADPH and EC 1.16.1.8. -!- In bacteria, the reducing agent is flavodoxin, and no further catalyst is needed (the flavodoxin is kept in the reduced state by NADPH and EC 1.18.1.2). -!- Acts on the monoglutamate as well as the triglutamate folate, in contrast with EC 2.1.1.14, which acts only on the triglutamate.
