Entry
EC 2.1.1.129                Enzyme                                 
Name
inositol 4-methyltransferase;
myo-inositol 4-O-methyltransferase;
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:myo-inositol 4-O-methyltransferase;
myo-inositol 6-O-methyltransferase
Class
Transferases;
Transferring one-carbon groups;
Methyltransferases
Sysname
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:1D-myo-inositol 4-methyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + myo-inositol = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 1D-4-O-methyl-myo-inositol [RN:R01190]
Reaction(KEGG)
R01190
Substrate
S-adenosyl-L-methionine [CPD:C00019];
myo-inositol [CPD:C00137]
Product
S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine [CPD:C00021];
1D-4-O-methyl-myo-inositol [CPD:C06352]
Comment
The enzyme from the rice bean Vigna umbellata (Fabaceae) is highly specific for S-adenosyl-L-methionine. The enzyme also methylates 1L-1,2,4/3,5-cyclohexanepentol, 2,4,6/3,5-pentahydroxycyclohexanone, D,L-2,3,4,6/5-pentacyclohexanone and 2,2'-anhydro-2-C-hydroxymethyl-myo-inositol, but at lower rates than that of myo-inositol.
