Enzyme Information
| 2.1.1.158 |
7-methylxanthosine synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt A4GE69
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + xanthosine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 7-methylxanthosine.
-!- The enzyme is specific for xanthosine, as XMP and xanthine cannot act as substrates. -!- The enzyme does not have N(1)- or N(3)- methylation activity. -!- This is the first methylation step in the production of caffeine.
