Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity
5-methyltetrahydropteroyltri-L-glutamate L-homocysteine = tetrahydropteroyltri-L-glutamate L-methionine (according to Swiss-Prot)Protein family
vitamin-B12 independent methionine synthase family (according to Swiss-Prot)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
