Disease
[SAHH_HUMAN] Defects in AHCY are the cause of hypermethioninemia with S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase deficiency (HMAHCHD) [MIM:613752]. A metabolic disorder characterized by hypermethioninemia associated with failure to thrive, mental and motor retardation, facial dysmorphism with abnormal hair and teeth, and myocardiopathy.[1] [2] [3] [4]
Function
[SAHH_HUMAN] Adenosylhomocysteine is a competitive inhibitor of S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyl transferase reactions; therefore adenosylhomocysteinase may play a key role in the control of methylations via regulation of the intracellular concentration of adenosylhomocysteine.[5]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
S-Adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) hydrolase regulates all adenosylmethionine-(AdoMet) dependent transmethylations by hydrolyzing the potent feedback inhibitor AdoHcy to homocysteine and adenosine. The crystallographic structure determination of a selenomethionyl-incorporated AdoHcy hydrolase inhibitor complex was accomplished using single wavelength anomalous diffraction data and the direct methods program, Snb v2.0, which produced the positions of all 30 crystallographically distinct selenium atoms. The mode of enzyme-cofactor binding is unique, requiring interactions from two protein monomers. An unusual dual role for a catalytic water molecule in the active site is revealed in the complex with the adenosine analog 2'-hydroxy, 3'-ketocyclopent-4'-enyladenine.
