StrainBaker's yeast
DescriptionS-Adenosylhomocysteine, also known as adenosyl-homo-cys or adohcy, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma butyrolactones. Gamma butyrolactones are compounds containing a gamma butyrolactone moiety, which consists of an aliphatic five-member ring with four carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and bears a ketone group on the carbon adjacent to the oxygen atom. S-Adenosylhomocysteine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). S-Adenosylhomocysteine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. S-Adenosylhomocysteine is a potentially toxic compound.

S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H(2)O → L-homocysteine + adenosine.
General function:
Involved in methyltransferase activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes the S-adenosylmethionine monomethyl esterification of trans-aconitate and 3-isopropylmalate at high affinity and of other molecules like cis-aconitate, isocitrate, and citrate at lower velocities and affinities. The function of trans-aconitate methylation appears to be in reducing the toxicity of this spontaneous breakdown product of cis-aconitate. The role of 3-isopropylmalate methylation is unclear but may represent a metabolic branch at 3-isopropylmalate, where some of the material is taken in the pathway leading to leucine and some is taken in a pathway to the 3-isopropylmalate methyl ester, a molecule that provides a signal to switch from vegetative to invasive growth in response to amino acid starvation
