ENZYME entry: EC 2.6.1.88
Accepted Name |
Methionine transaminase.
|
Alternative Name(s) |
Methionine-oxo-acid transaminase. |
Reaction catalysed |
L-methionine + a 2-oxo acid <=> 2-oxo-4-methylthiobutanoate + an L-amino acid |
Comment(s) |
- The enzyme is most active with L-methionine.
- It participates in the L-methionine salvage pathway from S-methyl-
5'-thioadenosine, a by-product of polyamine biosynthesis.
- The enzyme from the bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae can use several
different amino acids as amino donor, with aromatic amino acids being
the most effective.
- The enzyme from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana is also a part of the
chain elongation pathway in the biosynthesis of methionine-derived
glucosinolates.
