Description | Members of this protein family are protein C, a non-structural protein, of the operon for methyl coenzyme M reductase [ ], also called coenzyme-B sulfoethylthiotransferase (). That enzyme, with alpha, beta, and gamma subunits, catalyzes the last step in methanogenesis; it has several modified sites, so accessory proteins are expected. Several methanogens have encode two such enzymes, designated I and II; this protein occurs only operons of type I. The precise function is unknown [ ]. | Name | Methyl-coenzyme M reductase, protein C |
Short Name | Me_CoM_Rdtase_prot-C | Type | Family |
