Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
dominant structural feature of wild type BHMT is an (betaalpha)8 barrel. A modeled structure of truncated BHMT suggests that this protein would assume a horseshoe fold and lack methyltransferase activity Sus scrofa

Expression

Organism Comment Expression
Sus scrofa during fetal development, a total of ten splice variants of BHMT are expressed at varying levels across a wide range of porcine tissues. Two variants contain an identical ORF that encodes a C-terminal truncated form of BHMT additional information
