摘要
The S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase enzymes share little sequence identity, but incorporate a highly conserved structural fold. Surprisingly, residues that bind the common cofactor are poorly conserved, although the binding site is localised to the same region of the fold. The substrate-binding region of the fold varies enormously. Over the past two years, there has been a significant increase in the number of structures that are known to incorporate this fold, including several uncharacterised proteins and two proteins that lack methyltransferase activity.
