- Around the word, haeiii, homocysteine, lysine, convalently, kmt and pmt stand out and add context to how "methyltransferase" is used.
- Recognizable usage signals include a modification methyltransferase as such and betaine homocysteine methyltransferase e. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
- By corpus frequency, "methyltransferase" sits close to words such as aanholt, aardwolf and abati, which helps place it inside the broader word index.
Example types with methyltransferase
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
Putrescine is then converted into N-methyl putrescine via methylation by SAM catalyzed by putrescine N-methyltransferase (PMT). (18 words)
SAM serves as a methyl-donor in many (2) methyltransferase reactions, and is converted to S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH). (18 words)
HaeIII methyltransferase convalently complexed to DNA HaeIII methyltransferase (right) binds to DNA where it methylates (adds a methy group to) it. (21 words)
These reactions are important because a defect in homocysteine methyltransferase or a deficiency of B 12 may lead to a so-called "methyl-trap" of THF, in which THF converts to a reservoir of methyl-THF. (36 words)
The product, methylated at the two meta positions with respect to the alkyl substituent, experiences a final methylation at the 4 carbon by a guaiacol-O-methyltransferase, which also operates by a SAM-dependent mechanism. (35 words)
The Mod subunit recognises the DNA sequence specific for the system and is a modification methyltransferase ; as such, it is functionally equivalent to the M and S subunits of type I restriction endonuclease. (33 words)
