This is the central domain of a multifunctional enzyme which catalyses the biosynthesis of sirohaem. Both of the catalytic activities of this enzyme (precorrin-2 dehydrogenase EC:1.3.1.76) and sirohydrochlorin ferrochelatase (EC:4.99.1.4) are located in the N-terminal domain of this enzyme, Pfam:PF13241 [1].
This family uses S-AdoMet in the methylation of diverse substrates. This family includes a related group of bacterial proteins of unknown function, including Swiss:P45528. This family includes the methylase Dipthine synthase.

Bacterial sulfur metabolism depends on the iron-containing porphinoid sirohaem. CysG, S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM)-dependent bis-methyltransferase, dehydrogenase and ferrochelatase, synthesises sirohaem from uroporphyrinogen III via reactions which encompass two branchpoint intermediates in tetrapyrrole biosynthesis, diverting flux first from protoporphyrin IX biosynthesis and then from cobalamin (vitamin B12) biosynthesis. CysG is a dimer of two structurally similar protomers held together asymmetrically through a number of salt-bridges across complementary residues in the CysG_dimeriser region to produce a series of active sites, accounting for CysG's multifunctionality, catalysing four diverse reactions: two SAM-dependent methylations, NAD+-dependent tetrapyrrole dehydrogenation and metal chelation. The CysG_dimeriser region holding the two protomers together is of 74 residues [1].
