SAM-dependent methyltransferase
From Proteopedia
SAM-dependent methyltransferase (SDM) utilizes the methyl donor S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) as a cofactor to methylate proteins, small molecules, lipids and nucleic acids. SAM forms S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) upon demethylation. About 120 members of the SDM family have been identified. They differ in their substrate specificity and the atom targeted for methylation (N, O, C, S). The core of the SDM fold contains alternating β strands and α helices.
