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 |

metabolism | three different methyltransferases initiate methanogenesis from trimethylamine, dimethylamine, or monomethylamine by methylating different cognate corrinoid proteins that are subsequently used to methylate coenzyme M | Methanosarcina barkeri |
