Corrins activated the methylreductase system from Methanobacterium bryantii three- to fivefold in extracts resolved from low-molecular-weight factors. Corrins did not substitute for ATP and component B, which were also required for maximal activity. The concentration of diaquacobinamides required for one-half maximal activity was 1 microM. The concentrations of cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin, Co alpha-(5-hydroxybenzimidazoyl)-Co beta-cyanocobamide, and 5'-deoxyadenosylcobinamide required for one-half maximal activity were between 4 and 7 microM. Deoxyadenosylcobalamin was nearly inactive. Activation was independent of thiols, coenzyme M, and ATP. Activation was also observed after partial purification of the methylreductase system by agarose column chromatography. Corrins were required in catalytic concentrations, methylcobalamin was not required, and methanogenesis was enzymatic. Corrin activation of the methylreductase is a novel effect on methanogenesis. However, the physiological significance of the corrin activation is uncertain.
