gene mttB, co-transcription with gene mtbB1 encoding the DMA methyltransferase. The genes, organized on the chromosome in the order mtbC, mttB, mttC, mttP, and mtbB1, form a single transcriptional unit. The genes of all methyltransferases each contain a single in-frame amber codon Methanosarcina barkeri

additional information the determined N-terminus of MttB, encoded by mttB, shows a UAG codon, which is represented in both strands of the DNA, follows at codon position 334. Cessation of translation at the UAG codon results in a 34-kDa product rather than the abundant 53-kDa polypeptide purified from TMA-grown cells Methanosarcina barkeri
