| Function
SAM-dependent methyltransferase (SDM) utilizes the methyl donor S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) as a cofactor to methylate proteins, small molecules, lipids and nucleic acids. SAM forms S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) upon demethylation. About 120 members of the SDM family have been identified. They differ in their substrate specificity and the atom targeted for methylation (N, O, C, S)[1].
For Chemotaxis receptor methyltransferase CheR see details in Molecular Playground/CheR.[2].
Structural highlights
The core of the SDM fold contains alternating β strands and α helices. SDM active site is located between the 2 monomers[3]. Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
