== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/A0A0S4TKQ5_CRYHO A0A0S4TKQ5_CRYHO] Catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine from methionine and ATP.[RuleBase:RU000541]

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Methylation and demethylation of DNA, RNA and proteins has emerged as a major regulatory mechanism. Studying the function of these modifications would benefit from tools for their site-specific inhibition and timed removal. S -Adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) analogs in combination with methyltransferases (MTases) have proven useful to map or block and release MTase target sites, however their enzymatic generation has been limited to aliphatic groups at the sulfur atom. We engineered a SAM synthetase from Cryptosporidium hominis (PC-ChMAT) for efficient generation of AdoMet analogs with photocaging groups that are not accepted by any WT MAT reported to date. The crystal structure of PC-ChMAT at 1.87 A revealed how the photocaged AdoMet analog is accommodated and guided engineering of a thermostable MAT from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii . PC-MATs were compatible with DNA- and RNA MTases, enabling sequence-specific modification ("writing") of plasmid DNA and light-triggered removal ("erasing").
