FUNCTIONCatalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from 5- methyltetrahydrofolate to homocysteine resulting in methionine formation.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=5-methyltetrahydropteroyltri-L-glutamate + L-homocysteine = L- methionine + tetrahydropteroyltri-L-glutamate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:21196, ChEBI:CHEBI:57844, ChEBI:CHEBI:58140, ChEBI:CHEBI:58199, ChEBI:CHEBI:58207; EC=2.1.1.14;
COFACTOR Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.;
PATHWAYAmino-acid biosynthesis; L-methionine biosynthesis via de novo pathway; L-methionine from L-homocysteine (MetE route): step 1/1.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the vitamin-B12 independent methionine synthase family.
