Sarcosine/dimethylglycine N-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.157, ApDMT, sarcosine-dimethylglycine methyltransferase, SDMT, sarcosine dimethylglycine N-methyltransferase, S-adenosyl-L-methionine:N,N-dimethylglycine N-methyltransferase) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:sarcosine(or N,N-dimethylglycine) N-methyltransferase (N,N-dimethylglycine(or betaine)-forming).[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + sarcosine 2 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + betaine (overall reaction)
- (1a) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + sarcosine S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N,N-dimethylglycine
- (1b) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + N,N-dimethylglycine S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + betaine
This enzyme participates in biosynthesis of betaine from glycine in cyanobacterium Aphanocthece halophytica.
