ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.373

Accepted Name
2-hydroxy-4-(methylsulfanyl)butanoate S-methyltransferase
Alternative Name(s)
methylthiohydroxybutyrate methyltransferase
MTHB methyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
(2R)-2-hydroxy-4-(methylsulfanyl)butanoate + S-adenosyl-L-methionine <=> (2R)-4-(dimethylsulfaniumyl)-2-hydroxybutanoate + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from the marine bacterium Labrenzia aggregata, participates in the biosynthesis of dimethylsulfoniopropanoate (DMSP).
  • A eukaryotic enzyme that shares little sequence similarity with the bacterial enzyme was identified in many marine phytoplankton species.
