| Type: | Family | Name: | Monomethylamine methyltransferase MtmB |
| Description: | Monomethylamine methyltransferase of the archaebacterium Methanosarcina barkericontains a novel amino acid, pyrrolysine, encoded by the termination codon UAG []. The structure of the enzyme reveals a homohexamer comprised of individualsubunits with a TIM barrel fold. MtmB initiates the metabolism of monomethylamine by catalysing the transfer of the methyl group from monomethylamine to the corrinoid cofactor of MtmC [, ]. | Short Name: | MtmB_MeTrfase |
