EC 3.13.1.8 Details
show Brenda entryEC number
3.13.1.8
Accepted name
S-adenosyl-L-methionine hydrolase (adenosine-forming)
Reaction
(R)-S-adenosyl-L-methionine + H2O = adenosine + L-methionine
Other name(s)
SAM hydroxide adenosyltransferase
Systematic name
(R)-S-adenosyl-L-methionine hydrolase (adenosine-forming)
Comment
The enzyme, found in bacteria and archaea, is involved in removing the (R) isomer of S-adenosyl-L-methionine from the cell. It catalyses a nucleophilic attack of water at the C5′ carbon of S-adenosyl-L-methionine to generate adenosine and L-methionine.
