S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) is the most common substrate used in biological methylation reactions. During
methyl group transfer, S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) is formed as a byproduct. Since SAH is a strong inhibitor of the ubiquitous SAM dependent methylation reactions, removal of SAH by enzymatic hydrolysis serves as an important mechanism in the control of cellular methylation processes. |
