Enzyme Information

2.1.1.144
Trans-aconitate 2-methyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q8UH15
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + trans-aconitate = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + (E)-3-(methoxycarbonyl)pent-2-enedioate.
-!- Also catalyzes the formation of the methyl monoester of cis- aconitate, isocitrate and citrate, but more slowly. -!- While the enzyme from Escherichia coli forms (E)-3-(methoxycarbonyl)- pent-2-enedioate as the product, that from Saccharomyces cerevisiae forms (E)-2-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)butenedioate and is therefore classified as a separate enzyme (cf. EC 2.1.1.145).
