Glycine/sarcosine/dimethylglycine N-methyltransferase ( EC 2.1.1.162, GSDMT, glycine sarcosine dimethylglycine N-methyltransferase) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:glycine(or sarcosine or N,N-dimethylglycine) N-methyltransferase (sarcosine(or N,N-dimethylglycine or betaine)-forming). [1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- 3 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + glycine 3 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + betaine (overall reaction)
- (1a) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + glycine S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + sarcosine
- (1b) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + sarcosine S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N,N-dimethylglycine
- (1c) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + N,N-dimethylglycine S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + betaine
This enzyme from the halophilic methanoarchaeon Methanohalophilus portucalensis can methylate glycine and all of its intermediates to form the compatible solute trimethylglycine.
