The reduction of methyl-coenzyme M (CH3SCoM) to methane in methanogenic bacteria is dependent on component B (N-7-mercaptoheptanoyl-O-phospho-L-threonine, HSHTP). We report here that S-methyl-component B (N-7-(methylthio)heptanoyl-O-phospho-L-threonine, CH3SHTP) can substitute for neither CH3SCoM nor HSHTP in the methyl-CoM reductase reaction. Rather, CH3SHTP proved to be an inhibitor competitive with HSHTP (apparent Ki=6 μM) and noncompetitive with CH3SCoM. These results make it very unlikely that HSHTP functions as a methyl group carrier. A role for HSHTP as direct electron donor for CH3SCoM reduction to CH4is proposed.
