Abstract
The Moorella thermoacetica aromatic O-demethylase was characterized as an inducible three-component system with similarity to the methanogenic methanol, methylamine, and methanethiol methyltransferases and to the O-demethylase system from Acetobacterium dehalogenans. MtvB catalyzes methyl transfer from a phenylmethylether to the cobalt center of MtvC, a corrinoid protein. MtvA catalyzes transmethylation from MtvC to tetrahydrofolate, forming methyltetrahydrofolate. Cobalamin can substitute for MtvC.Entities:
