S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase (SAM-MTase or AdoMet-MTase) is a conserved protein domain and protein superfamily.[1] SAM-MTase proteins are methyltransferases.[2] There are five protein families within SAM-MTase,

SAM-MTases use S-adenosyl-L-methionine as a substrate for methylation, creating the product S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine.[3]

Structure and subgroups

[edit]

All SAM-MTases contain a structurally conserved SAM-binding domain consisting of a central seven-stranded beta-sheet that is flanked by three alpha-helices per side of the sheet.[4]

A review published in 2003 divides all methyltransferases into 5 main classes based on the structure of their catalytic domain (fold):[5]

  • class I: Rossmann-like α/β, the largest subgroup.[3]
  • class II: TIM β/α-barrel α/β
  • class III: tetrapyrrole methylase α/β
  • class IV: SPOUT α/β
  • class V: SET domain all β
