Structural highlights

Function

MTN1_ARATH Enzyme of the methionine cycle that catalyzes the irreversible cleavage of the glycosidic bond in 5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA) to adenine and 5'-methylthioribose. Contributes to the maintenance of AdoMet homeostasis and is required to sustain high rates of ethylene synthesis. Inactive towards S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH/AdoHcy).^{[1] [2] [3]}
