2.6.1.88
Description L-methionine transaminase
Alternative names methionine-oxo-acid transaminase;
L-methionine:2-oxo-acid aminotransferase;
Catalyzed reaction L-methionine + a 2-oxo carboxylate = 2-oxo-4-methylthiobutanoate + an L-amino acid
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments 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 [1]. The enzyme from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana is also a part of the chain elongation pathway in the biosynthesis of methionine-derived glucosinolates [3].

Family a includes only plant enzymes, beloging to the fold type IV group; they apparently represent specialized forms of branched-chain amino acid transaminases.

Family b includes enzymes that belong to the fold type I group and are from bacteria.
