PROSITE documentation PDOC00844 |
The following cytoplasmic vertebrate methyltransferases are evolutionary related [1,2]:
These enzymes use S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the methyl donor. They are proteins of 30 to 32 Kd. As a signature pattern we selected the most conserved region, a stretch of 16 residues which are located in the N-terminal section of these enzymes.
Last update:December 2001 / Pattern and text revised.
