Insights into pyrrolysine function from structures of a trimethylamine methyltransferase and its corrinoid protein complex

Structures of Methanosarcina barkeri trimethylamine methyltransferase (MttB) with its substrates reveal the role of pyrrolysine in methyl group transfer from trimethylamine to the corrinoid cofactor in MttC.
