Ligands: PEG, PLP Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function CYSD_YEAST Catalyzes the conversion of O-acetyl-L-homoserine (OAH) into homocysteine in the methionine biosynthesis pathway (PubMed:7765825, PubMed:4609980, PubMed:795806, PubMed:36455053, PubMed:36379252). Required to efficiently reduce toxic levels of hydrogen sulfide generated when the sulfate assimilation pathway (SAP) is active (PubMed:36455053, PubMed:36379252). Also catalyzes the conversion of O-acetylserine (OAS) into cysteine, the last step in the cysteine biosynthesis pathway (PubMed:7765825, PubMed:4609980, PubMed:795806, PubMed:36455053). However, it seems that in S.cerevisiae cysteine biosynthesis occurs exclusively through the cystathionine pathway and not via direct incorporation of sulfur into OAS (PubMed:1732168). It therefore has no metabolic role in cysteine biosynthesis and may only have a regulatory role controlling OAS levels (PubMed:12586406). Publication Abstract from PubMed Chemical modification of small molecules is a key step for the development of pharmaceuticals. S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) analogues are used by methyltransferases (MTs) to transfer alkyl, allyl and benzyl moieties chemo-, stereo- and regioselectively onto substrates, enabling an enzymatic way for specific derivatisation of a wide range of molecules. l-Methionine analogues are required for the synthesis of SAM analogues. Most of these are not commercially available. In nature, O-acetyl-l-homoserine sulfhydrolases (OAHS) catalyse the synthesis of l-methionine from O-acetyl-l-homoserine or l-homocysteine, and methyl mercaptan. Here, we investigated the substrate scope of ScOAHS from Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the production of l-methionine analogues from l-homocysteine and organic thiols. The promiscuous enzyme was used to synthesise nine different l-methionine analogues with modifications on the thioether residue up to a conversion of 75%. ScOAHS was combined with an established MT dependent three-enzyme alkylation cascade, allowing transfer of in total seven moieties onto two MT substrates. Ethylation was nearly doubled with the new four-enzyme cascade, indicating a beneficial effect of the in situ production of l-methionine analogues with ScOAHS.
