SAM-dependent methyltransferase

Function SAM-dependent methyltransferase or S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase (SDM) utilizes the methyl donor S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) as a cofactor to methylate proteins, small molecules, lipids and nucleic acids. SAM forms S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) upon demethylation. About 120 members of the SDM family have been identified. They differ in their substrate specificity and the atom targeted for methylation (N, O, C, S). For Chemotaxis receptor methyltransferase CheR see details in Molecular Playground/CheR..
