    The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • 5-methyltetrahydropteroyltri-L-glutamate + L-homocysteine --> L-methionine + tetrahydropteroyltri-L-glutamate (according to UniProt)

    • Protein family

  • vitamin-B12 independent methionine synthase family (single member, according to UniProt)

    • Modification

  • phosphorylated on ser/ thr/ tyr [Pubmed|17726680], S-cysteinylation after diamide stress (C719) [Pubmed|17611193]
  • Cys719 and Cys730 are S-bacillithiolated by NaOCl stress in B. subtilis and other Bacillus species [Pubmed|21749987] [Pubmed|22938038]
  • MetE is generally most strongly S-bacillithiolated by NaOCl stress in B. subtilis and other Bacillus species [Pubmed|21749987] [Pubmed|22938038]

    • Structure

  • [PDB|1T7L] (from ''Thermotoga maritima'', 44% identity, 61% similarity) [Pubmed|15630480]

    • Additional information

  • subject to Clp-dependent proteolysis upon glucose starvation [Pubmed|17981983]
  • belongs to the 100 [SW|most abundant proteins] [PubMed|15378759]

    regulatory mechanism

  • [regulon|S-box|S-box]: termination, the [SW|S-box] [SW|riboswitch] binds S-adenosylmethionine resulting in termination [Pubmed|10094622], in [regulon|S-box|S-box]

    • regulation

  • repressed by casamino acids [Pubmed|12107147]
  • the [SW|S-box] RNA is degraded by [protein|872CCB5A49C9000BD95E4B0472556D5F60F7D7A4|RNase Y] [pubmed|29794222]
