Potassium 9-18 betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase Homo sapiens 71-111 24895213-3 2014 Herein we report that BHMT is activated by potassium ions with an apparent K(M) for K+ of about 100 microM. Potassium 43-52 betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase Homo sapiens 22-26 24895213-8 2014 The potassium binding residues in BHMT partially overlap with the previously identified DGG (Asp26-Gly27-Gly28) fingerprint in the Pfam 02574 group of methyltransferases. Potassium 4-13 betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase Homo sapiens 34-38 24895213-10 2014 Together, the data herein indicate that the role of potassium ions in BHMT is structural and that potassium ion facilitates the specific binding of homocysteine to the active site of the enzyme. Potassium 52-61 betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase Homo sapiens 70-74
