UniProt functional annotation for P10760

UniProt code: P10760.

Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus.
 
Function: Adenosylhomocysteine is a competitive inhibitor of S- adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyl transferase reactions; therefore adenosylhomocysteinase may play a key role in the control of methylations via regulation of the intracellular concentration of adenosylhomocysteine.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=H2O + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine = adenosine + L-homocysteine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:21708, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:16335, ChEBI:CHEBI:57856, ChEBI:CHEBI:58199; EC=3.3.1.1;
Cofactor: Name=NAD(+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:57540; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10387078, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10913437, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11741948, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11927587, ECO:0007744|PDB:1B3R, ECO:0007744|PDB:1D4F, ECO:0007744|PDB:1K0U, ECO:0007744|PDB:1KY4, ECO:0007744|PDB:1KY5, ECO:0007744|PDB:1XWF, ECO:0007744|PDB:2H5L}; Note=Binds 1 NAD(+) per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10387078, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10913437, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11741948, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11927587, ECO:0007744|PDB:1B3R, ECO:0007744|PDB:1D4F, ECO:0007744|PDB:1K0U, ECO:0007744|PDB:1KY4, ECO:0007744|PDB:1KY5, ECO:0007744|PDB:1XWF, ECO:0007744|PDB:2H5L};
Pathway: Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-homocysteine biosynthesis; L- homocysteine from S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine: step 1/1.
Subunit: Homotetramer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10387078, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11741948}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm. Melanosome {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the adenosylhomocysteinase family. {ECO:0000305}.
