Cobalt-factor II C20-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.151) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

This is a methylation reaction in which cobalt-precorrin-2 is converted to cobalt-precorrin-2. The methyl group comes from the cofactor, S-adenosyl methionine (SAM), which becomes S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH). The enzyme was characterised from Salmonella typhimurium.[1][2]


This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is S-adenosyl-L-methionine:cobalt-factor-II C20-methyltransferase.[3] This enzyme is also called CbiL. It is part of the biosynthetic pathway to cobalamin (vitamin B12) in anaerobic bacteria such as Salmonella typhimurium and Bacillus megaterium.[4][5][6]
