General annotation (Comments)

Function	Catalyzes the S-methylmethionine (SMM) biosynthesis from adenosyl-L-homocysteine (AdoMet) and methionine. SMM biosynthesis (by MMT1) and degradation (by HMT-1, HMT-2 and HMT-3) constitute the SMM cycle in plants, which is probably required to achieve short term control of AdoMet level. Also able to catalyze the selenium-methylmethionine (SeMM) from AdoMet and selenium-methionine (SeMet). May play a role in phoem sulfur transport; such function is however not essential.
Catalytic activity	S-adenosyl-L-methionine + L-methionine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + S-methyl-L-methionine. Ref.2
Subunit structure	Homotetramer By similarity.
Subcellular location	Cytoplasm By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Expressed in the shoot, scutellum, and aleurone cells but not in the root or endosperm. Ref.2
Developmental stage	Increases during germination.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily.
