| UniProt code: P11562. |
| Organism: | Methanothermobacter marburgensis (strain ATCC BAA-927 / DSM 2133 / JCM 14651 / NBRC 100331 / OCM 82 / Marburg) (Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum). | |
| Taxonomy: | Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Methanomada group; Methanobacteria; Methanobacteriales; Methanobacteriaceae; Methanothermobacter. | |
| Function: | Component of the methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) I that catalyzes the reductive cleavage of methyl-coenzyme M (CoM-S-CH3 or 2- (methylthio)ethanesulfonate) using coenzyme B (CoB or 7- mercaptoheptanoylthreonine phosphate) as reductant which results in the production of methane and the mixed heterodisulfide of CoB and CoM (CoM-S-S-CoB). This is the final step in methanogenesis (PubMed:2269306, PubMed:3350018). Neither N-6-mercaptohexanoylthreonine phosphate (H-S-HxoTP) nor N-8-mercaptooctanoylthreonine phosphate (H- SOcoTP) nor any other thiol compound such as CoA or CoM can substitute for CoB as the electron donor (PubMed:3350018). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2269306, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3350018}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=coenzyme B + methyl-coenzyme M = coenzyme M-coenzyme B heterodisulfide + methane; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:12532, ChEBI:CHEBI:16183, ChEBI:CHEBI:58286, ChEBI:CHEBI:58411, ChEBI:CHEBI:58596; EC=2.8.4.1; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:2269306, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25691570, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27140643, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3350018}; PhysiologicalDirection=left-to-right; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:12533; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:27140643, ECO:0000305|PubMed:3350018}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=coenzyme F430; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:60540; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:3350018, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9030728, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9367957}; Note=Binds 2 coenzyme F430 non-covalently per MCR complex. Coenzyme F430 is a yellow nickel porphinoid (PubMed:3350018, PubMed:9367957). Methyl-coenzyme-M reductase is activated when the enzyme-bound coenzyme F430 is reduced to the Ni(I) oxidation state (PubMed:9030728). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3350018, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9030728, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9367957}; | |
| Activity regulation: | Methyl-coenzyme M reductase activity is inhibited by 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP) in vitro and in vivo, by oxidation of its active site Ni(I), which stops both growth and methanogenesis (PubMed:27140643). Is also inhibited by the reaction product CoM-S-S- CoB (PubMed:3350018). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27140643, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3350018}. | |
| Pathway: | One-carbon metabolism; methyl-coenzyme M reduction; methane from methyl-coenzyme M: step 1/1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27140643, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3350018}. | |
| Subunit: | MCR is a hexamer of two alpha, two beta, and two gamma chains, forming a dimer of heterotrimers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2269306, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3350018, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9367957}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23533332}. Note=Under growth limiting conditions on nickel-depleted media, a fraction of 70% of the enzyme is localized close to the cytoplasmic membrane, which implies 'facultative' membrane association of the enzyme. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23533332}. | |
| Developmental stage: | There are two MCR complexes in this bacteria. MCR II is expressed in the early growth phase. Late growth cells contain mostly MCR I. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2269306}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | The MCR reaction has been shown to follow an ordered bi- bi ternary complex mechanism, in which methyl-SCoM must enter the MCR active site prior to CoB for a productive catalysis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25691570}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the methyl-coenzyme M reductase gamma subunit family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
