EC | 2.1.1.162 | ||
Accepted name: | glycine/sarcosine/dimethylglycine N-methyltransferase | ||
Reaction: | 3 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + glycine = 3 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + betaine (overall reaction) (1a) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + glycine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + sarcosine (1b) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + sarcosine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N,N-dimethylglycine (1c) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + N,N-dimethylglycine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + betaine |
||
Glossary: | sarcosine = N-methylglycine betaine = glycine betaine = N,N,N-trimethylglycine = N,N,N-trimethylammonioacetate |
||
Other name(s): | GSDMT; glycine sarcosine dimethylglycine N-methyltransferase | ||
Systematic name: | S-adenosyl-L-methionine:glycine(or sarcosine or N,N-dimethylglycine) N-methyltransferase [sarcosine(or N,N-dimethylglycine or betaine)-forming] | ||
Comments: | Unlike EC 2.1.1.156 (glycine/sarcosine N-methyltransferase), EC 2.1.1.157 (sarcosine/dimethylglycine N-methyltransferase) and EC 2.1.1.161 (dimethylglycine N-methyltransferase), this enzyme, from the halophilic methanoarchaeon Methanohalophilus portucalensis, can methylate glycine and all of its intermediates to form the compatible solute betaine [1]. | ||
