General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine from methionine and ATP. The overall synthetic reaction is composed of two sequential steps, AdoMet formation and the subsequent tripolyphosphate hydrolysis which occurs prior to release of AdoMet from the enzyme By similarity.

Catalytic activity

ATP + L-methionine + H2O = phosphate + diphosphate + S-adenosyl-L-methionine.

Cofactor

Binds 2 divalent ions per subunit. Manganese, magnesium or cobalt. Ref.1

Binds 1 potassium ion per subunit. Can be replaced by NH4. Ref.1

Enzyme regulation

Inhibited by products of SAMS reaction (SAM, Pi, PPi), substrate analogs (cycloleucine and ethionine), and alternative nucleotides (GTP, CTP and ADP). Strongly repressed by PPPi. Ref.1

Pathway

Amino-acid biosynthesis; S-adenosyl-L-methionine biosynthesis; S-adenosyl-L-methionine from L-methionine: step 1/1.

Subunit structure

Homotetramer By similarity.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm By similarity.

Tissue specificity

Mostly expressed in roots, and, to a lower extent, in hypocotyls and cotyledons. Ref.1

Induction

Transiently induced by elicitors from Phytophthora megasperma, salt stress, and sucrose. Ref.1

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the AdoMet synthase family.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

KM=102 µM for L-methionine Ref.1

KM=313 µM for ATP

pH dependence:

Optimum pH is 7-8.3.

Temperature dependence:

Optimum temperature is 37-45 degrees Celsius.
