Next, we characterized the domains of MtBzaC and reconstituted its methyltransferase activity with the predicted substrate 5-OHBza and with two alternative substrates, the MtCobT product 5-OHBza-RP and its riboside derivative 5-OHBza-R. Unexpectedly, we found that 5-OHBza-R is the most favored MtBzaC substrate. Our results collectively explain the long-standing observation that the attachment of the lower ligand in anaerobic cobamide biosynthesis is regiospecific. In conclusion, we validate MtBzaC as a SAMhydroxybenzimida
