4-Dimethylallyltryptophan N-methyltransferase
Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme 4-dimethylallyltryptophan N-methyltransferase (Template:EC number, fgaMT (gene), easF (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:4-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-L-tryptophan N-methyltransferase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 4-dimethylallyl-L-tryptophan S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 4-dimethylallyl-L-abrine
The enzyme catalyses a step in the pathway leading to biosynthesis of ergot alkaloids in certain fungi.
