CommentThis model represents an O-methyltransferase believed to act at two points in the ubiquinone biosynthetic pathway in bacteria (UbiG) and fungi (COQ3) [1,2]. A separate methylase (MenG/UbiE) catalyzes the single C-methylation step. The most commonly used names for genes in this family do not indicate whether this gene is an O-methyl, or C-methyl transferase.
