Accepted name: | 5-guanidino-2-oxopentanoate (3R)-methyltransferase | ||||
Reaction: | S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 5-guanidino-2-oxopentanoate = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + (3R)-5-guanidino-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate | ||||
Glossary: | 5-guanidino-2-oxopentanoate = 2-ketoarginine (3R)-5-guanidino-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate = (3R)-5-carbamimidamido-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate |

Other name(s): | mrsA (gene name); argN (gene name); 2-ketoarginine methyltransferase; S-adenosyl-L-methionine:5-carbamimidamido-2-oxopentanoate S-methyltransferase | ||||
Systematic name: | S-adenosyl-L-methionine:5-guanidino-2-oxopentanoate (3R)-methyltransferase | ||||
Comments: | The enzyme is involved in production of the rare amino acid (3R)-3-methyl-L-arginine. The compound is used by the epiphytic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae as an antibiotic against the related pathogenic species Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. glycinea. Other bacteria incorporate the compound into more complex compounds such as the peptidyl nucleoside antibiotic arginomycin. | ||||
