Definition:
EC Tree > 2 Transferases > 2.1 Transferring one-carbon groups > 2.1.1 Methyltransferases > 2.1.1.137 arsenite methyltransferase
Arsenite methyltransferase uses S-adenosyl-L-methionine to methylate arsenic triglutathione (or similar arsenic-thiol complexes), successively generating methylarsonite, dimethylarsinous acid and finally trimethylarsane, with thioredoxin as reductant; in microbes it makes trivalent methylarsenical antibiotics, whereas in animals it detoxifies inorganic arsenite.
