LITERATURE

physiological function
S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferases (MTs) play a decisive role in the biosynthesis of natural products and in epigenetic processes. MTs catalyze the methylation of heteroatoms and even of carbon atoms, which, in many cases, is a challenging reaction in conventional synthesis. C-MTs are often highly substrate-specific. SgvM from Streptomyces griseoviridis features an extended substrate scope with respect to the nucleophile as well as the electrophile. It catalyze the transfer of the electrophilic methyl group of SAM to the C3 position of 4-methyl-2-oxovalerate (alpha-ketoleucine)
