“…It may be that the electrostatic interaction between the negative thiolate of Hcy and the positive quaternary amine of Bet is the largest contribution to the binding energy for Bet; this interaction is lost in the product complex. This idea is consistent with the observations that Bet binds to the BHMT-Hcy complex with a K d value of 1.1 µM (Table 2), whereas a Bet analogue in which the nitrogen atom has been replaced with carbon (3,3-dimethylbutyrate) is a weak competitive inhibitor of Bet binding with a K i value of 450 µM (17). The fact that the BHMT-Met complex can be detected by fluorescence but the BHMT-Met-DMG complex cannot indicates that the equilibrium is displaced toward the form BHMT-Met (Scheme 1), validating the hypothesis that DMG is the first substrate to dissociate.…”

“…Consistent with a defect in the Bet binding site, the K d CBHcy for W44A is 2.6 µM, almost 10 times higher than WT enzyme (Table 2). These results indicate that Trp44 is important for the binding of DMG and Bet, as implied by the crystal structure of the enzyme complexed with CBHcy (17). W44A also was characterized by initial rate kinetics with saturating levels of Hcy and varying levels of Bet.…”

“…Choline, part of the B vitamin complex, is a direct precursor of betaine. This, in turn, is a methyl donor that converts Hcy to methionine and dimethylglycine [18]. Furthermore, methyl tetrahydrofolate can act as a methyl donor to Hcy triggering the folate cycle.…”

“…Η δραστηριότητα του ενζύμου μεθυλτρανσφεράση της βεταΐνης-ομοκυστεΐνης έχει βρεθεί πολύ πιο έντονη στο συκώτι και πολύ ασθενέστερη σε νεφρούς, πάγκρεας, σπλήνα, επινεφρίδια. Αντίθετα, το ένζυμο συνθάση ή συνθετάση της μεθειονίνης αν και σε χαμηλότερες συγκεντρώσεις, υπάρχει σε διάφορους ιστούς συμπεριλαμβανομένου του συκωτιού και ελέγχει σχεδόν πλήρως την αναμεθυλίωση της ομοκυστεΐνης προς μεθειονίνη [41]. τους ανθρώπους, κάποια στοιχεία δείχνουν ότι ένα σημαντικό ποσό διαιτητικής χολίνης της διατροφής μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί για την εξαρτώμενη από την βεταΐνη οδό μεταφοράς μεθυλομάδων [42].…”
