IUBMB Comments
Requires Mg2+. The enzyme is found in anaerobic methanogenic and methanotrophic archaea, where it modifies a glycine residue in EC 2.8.4.1, coenzyme-B sulfoethylthiotransferase (methyl-CoM reductase). Upon binding to its substrate, an external source of sulfide attacks the target amide bond generating a tetrahedral intermediate. The amide oxyanion attacks the gamma-phosphate of ATP, releasing ADP and forming a phosphorylated thiolate intermediate that collapses to form thioglycine and phosphate. In most organisms activity requires a second protein (TfuA) , which may allosterically activate this enzyme or assist in the delivery of sulfide to the substrate.
