EC 6.3.2.33     
Accepted name: tetrahydrosarcinapterin synthase
Reaction: ATP + tetrahydromethanopterin + L-glutamate = ADP + phosphate + 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrosarcinapterin

Other name(s): H4MPT:α-L-glutamate ligase; MJ0620; MptN protein
Systematic name: tetrahydromethanopterin:α-L-glutamate ligase (ADP-forming)
Comments: This enzyme catalyses the biosynthesis of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrosarcinapterin, a modified form of tetrahydromethanopterin found in the Methanosarcinales. It does not require K+, and does not discriminate between ATP and GTP [1].
