Secondary Information

Presence in other biological fluids/tissue/cells expressed in human liver, red blood cells, rat liver, heat, kidney and brain
Protein Function Synthesizes SAM (S-adenosylmethionine), the principle methyl group donor and precursor for polyamine and glutathione synthesis; catalyses the transfer of the adenosyl group from ATP to the sulfur atom of Met (Lmethionine), in an unusual two-step reaction cleaving at both ends of the ATP triphosphate chain
Biochemical Properties 25 mM cycloleucine, a known competitive inhibitor of Sadenosylmethionine synthetases; as found in red blood cells, the enzyme has a high affinity for methionine; enzyme is only fully activated at total Mg2+ concentrations manyfold higher than the ATP concentration; at near physiological levels of ATP (1 mM), maximal activity is obtained at or above 20 mM MgCl2; the pH optimum of the human erythrocyte enzyme is 5.2; regulatory properties of this enzyme appear to be pH dependent; rat liver is strikingly stimulated by Me2SO at a low concentration; the enzyme activities in the cytosol from rat brain, heart, and kidney are reported to be slightly inhibited by Me2SO; pH optima for the activity of rat liver and kidney 5-Ado-Met synthetases were broad between pH 7.5 and 9.5; liver enzymes and the kidney enzyme absolutely required Mg2+ and K+ for the activity
Significance in milk involved in metheonine supply in milk- methionine supply has a potential biological impact within mammary tissue
