Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Methionine
DescriptionL-Methionine, also known as liquimeth or pedameth, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methionine and derivatives. Methionine and derivatives are compounds containing methionine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of methionine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. L-Methionine is a drug which is used for protein synthesis including the formation of same, l-homocysteine, l-cysteine, taurine, and sulfate. L-Methionine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. L-Methionine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. L-Methionine is a potentially toxic compound.

Enzymes

General function:
Coenzyme transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine from methionine and ATP.
Gene Name:
MAT2A
Uniprot ID:
A7E3T7
Molecular weight:
43691.0
General function:
Coenzyme transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Catalyzes the radical-mediated insertion of two sulfur atoms into the C-6 and C-8 positions of the octanoyl moiety bound to the lipoyl domains of lipoate-dependent enzymes, thereby converting the octanoylated domains into lipoylated derivatives.
Gene Name:
LIAS
Uniprot ID:
Q5BIP7
Molecular weight:
42035.0
General function:
Coenzyme transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine from methionine and ATP. The reaction comprises two steps that are both catalyzed by the same enzyme: formation of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) and triphosphate, and subsequent hydrolysis of the triphosphate.
Gene Name:
MAT1A
Uniprot ID:
Q2KJC6
Molecular weight:
43761.0
Reactions
Adenosine triphosphate + L-Methionine + Water → S-Adenosylmethionine + Hydrogen phosphate + Pyrophosphatedetails
General function:
Amino acid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from methyl-cobalamin to homocysteine, yielding enzyme-bound cob(I)alamin and methionine. Subsequently, remethylates the cofactor using methyltetrahydrofolate (By similarity).
Gene Name:
MTR
Uniprot ID:
Q4JIJ3
Molecular weight:
140478.0
Reactions
Homocysteine + 5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid → L-Methionine + Tetrahydrofolic aciddetails
General function:
Posttranslational modification, protein turnover, chaperones
Specific function:
Methionine-sulfoxide reductase that specifically reduces methionine (R)-sulfoxide back to methionine. While in many cases, methionine oxidation is the result of random oxidation following oxidative stress, methionine oxidation is also a post-translational modification that takes place on specific residue. Acts as a regulator of actin assembly by reducing methionine (R)-sulfoxide mediated by MICALs (MICAL1, MICAL2 or MICAL3) on actin, thereby promoting filament repolymerization. Plays a role in innate immunity by reducing oxidized actin, leading to actin repolymerization in macrophages.
Gene Name:
MSRB1
Uniprot ID:
Q3MHL9
Molecular weight:
12833.0
General function:
Translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis
Specific function:
Cotranslationally removes the N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins. The N-terminal methionine is often cleaved when the second residue in the primary sequence is small and uncharged (Met-Ala-, Cys, Gly, Pro, Ser, Thr, or Val).
Gene Name:
METAP1
Uniprot ID:
A6QLA4
Molecular weight:
43183.0
General function:
Translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis
Specific function:
Cotranslationally removes the N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins. The N-terminal methionine is often cleaved when the second residue in the primary sequence is small and uncharged (Met-Ala-, Cys, Gly, Pro, Ser, Thr, or Val).
Gene Name:
METAP2
Uniprot ID:
Q3ZC89
Molecular weight:
52812.0
General function:
Amino acid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Involved in the regulation of homocysteine metabolism. Converts betaine and homocysteine to dimethylglycine and methionine, respectively. This reaction is also required for the irreversible oxidation of choline (By similarity).
Gene Name:
BHMT
Uniprot ID:
Q5I597
Molecular weight:
44878.0
Reactions
Betaine + Homocysteine → Dimethylglycine + L-Methioninedetails
General function:
Posttranslational modification, protein turnover, chaperones
Specific function:
Has an important function as a repair enzyme for proteins that have been inactivated by oxidation. Catalyzes the reversible oxidation-reduction of methionine sulfoxide in proteins to methionine.

Reactions
L-Methionine + Adenosine triphosphate + tRNA(Met) → L-Methionyl-tRNA(Met) + Adenosine monophosphate + Pyrophosphatedetails
General function:
Translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis
Specific function:
Catalyzes the specific attachment of an amino acid to its cognate tRNA in a 2 step reaction: the amino acid (AA) is first activated by ATP to form AA-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of the tRNA. Plays a role in the synthesis of ribosomal RNA in the nucleolus.
