Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cobalt-precorrin-5B = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + cobalt-precorrin-6A

Glossary: cobalt-precorrin-6A = cobalt-precorrin-6x
Other name(s): cobalt-precorrin-6A synthase; CbiD (gene name)
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:cobalt-precorrin-5B (C1)-methyltransferase
Comments: This enzyme catalyses the C-1 methylation of cobalt-precorrin-5B in the anaerobic (early cobalt insertion) pathway of adenosylcobalamin biosynthesis. See EC 2.1.1.152, precorrin-6A synthase (deacetylating), for the C1-methyltransferase that participates in the aerobic cobalamin biosynthesis pathway.
Comments: This enzyme catalyses the C-1 methylation of cobalt-precorrin-5B in the anaerobic (early cobalt insertion) pathway of adenosylcobalamin biosynthesis.
