Name Phospholipid methyltransferases (EC 2.1.1.17 and EC=2.1.1.71) family
Function Phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.17) is an enzyme that transfers a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to phosphatidylethanolamine to form phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine and S- adenosyl-L-homocysteine. Phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.71) is an enzyme that transfers a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine to form phosphatidyl-N- dimethylethanolamine and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine. It also transfers a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to phosphatidyl-N- dimethylethanolamine to form phosphatidylcholine and S-adenosyl-L- homocysteine.

Comments [?]

Function Catalyzes three sequential methylation reactions of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) by AdoMet, thereby producing phosphatidylcholine (PC).
Catalytic activity RHEA:32735: 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-N-methylethanolamine + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-N,N-dimethylethanolamine + H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
EC 2.1.1.71
RHEA:32739: 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-N,N-dimethylethanolamine + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
RHEA:11164: a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-N-methylethanolamine + H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
EC 2.1.1.17
Pathway Phospholipid metabolism; phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis.
Similarity Belongs to the class VI-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. PEMT/PEM2 methyltransferase family.
