  • Title: Allosteric and catalytic binding of S-adenosylmethionine to Escherichia coli DNA adenine methyltransferase monitored by 3H NMR.
    Author: Bergerat A, Guschlbauer W, Fazakerley GV.
    Journal: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A; 1991 Aug 01; 88(15):6394-7. PubMed ID: 1862071.
    Abstract:
    Adenine methylation of GATC sequences in DNA is carried out by the DNA adenine methyltransferase with the methyl group source being the cofactor S-adenosylmethionine. We report 3H NMR studies on the interaction of DNA adenine methyltransferase with S-adenosylmethionine and the reaction when the ternary complex is formed with an oligonucleotide containing a GATC site. The methylation reaction was also studied in the presence of a competitive inhibitor and this showed two successive stages involved in the methylation and two sites of binding for S-adenosylmethionine.
