DE   methionine transaminase.
AN   methionine-oxo-acid transaminase.
CA   a 2-oxocarboxylate + L-methionine = 4-methylsulfanyl-2-oxobutanoate +
CA   an L-alpha-amino acid.
CC   -!- The enzyme is most active with L-methionine.
CC   -!- It participates in the L-methionine salvage pathway from S-methyl-
CC       5'-thioadenosine, a by-product of polyamine biosynthesis.
CC   -!- The enzyme from the bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae can use several
CC       different amino acids as amino donor, with aromatic amino acids being
CC       the most effective.
CC   -!- The enzyme from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana is also a part of the
CC       chain elongation pathway in the biosynthesis of methionine-derived
CC       glucosinolates.
