| Function: | Methyltransferase that mediates the transfer of a N5-methyl group of (6S)-methyltetrahydrofolate to the 5- methoxybenzimidazolylcobamide cofactor of a corrinoid/Fe-S protein (AcsC/AcsD) in the anaerobic acetyl-CoA pathway (Wood-Ljungdahl pathway) of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide fixation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17172470, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22419154, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7928975}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=(6S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate + [methyl-Co(III) corrinoid Fe-S protein] = (6S)-5-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate + [Co(I) corrinoid Fe-S protein] + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:45200, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11110, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11111, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:18608, ChEBI:CHEBI:57453, ChEBI:CHEBI:85033, ChEBI:CHEBI:85035; EC=2.1.1.258; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:17172470, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22419154, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7928975}; | |
