metK Protein, Shigella sonnei (His)

The metK protein plays a crucial role in cellular processes by catalyzing the formation of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) from methionine and ATP. This enzymatic activity involves a two-step process, first synthesizing AdoMet and then hydrolyzing tripolyphosphate. metK Protein, Shigella sonnei (His) is the recombinant metK protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag. The total length of metK Protein, Shigella sonnei (His) is 384 a.a., .

MetK, or methionine adenosyltransferase, plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism by catalyzing the formation of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) from methionine and ATP. This enzymatic reaction involves two sequential steps: the initial synthesis of AdoMet and the subsequent hydrolysis of tripolyphosphate, occurring before the release of AdoMet from the enzyme. S-adenosylmethionine serves as a primary methyl donor in various biochemical reactions, participating in processes such as DNA methylation, protein methylation, and the biosynthesis of polyamines and certain secondary metabolites. MetK's activity is pivotal for maintaining cellular methylation potential and ensuring the availability of AdoMet, a key cofactor involved in numerous essential metabolic pathways. It has to succinctly outline MetK's role in the synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine, emphasizing its significance in cellular methylation processes and broader metabolic regulation.
