synthesis | the nonenzymatic stereoselective formation of C-C bonds by methylation is challenging and usually requires multistep syntheses. In contrast, the asymmetric introduction of a methyl group in natural product biosynthesis is performed in a single step and catalyzed by methyltransferases (MTs), which usually require S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as the methyl donor. Enzyme SgvM might be a valuable tool for asymmetric biocatalytic C-alkylation reactions. It catalyze the transfer of the electrophilic methyl group of SAM to the C3 position | Streptomyces griseoviridis |

additional information | aside from its physiological substrate 4-methyl-2-oxovalerate, enzyme SgvM catalyzes the (di)methylation of pyruvate, 2-oxobutyrate, 2-oxovalerate, and phenylpyruvate at the beta-carbon atom. SgvM acts stereoselectively. SgvM also catalyzes stereoselective ethylation reactions with S-adenosylethionine as the electrophile. The methylation of 2-oxovalerate occurs with R selectivity while the ethylation of 2-oxobutyrate with S-adenosylethionine results in the S enantiomer of 3-methyl-2-oxovalerate.

physiological function | S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferases (MTs) play a decisive role in the biosynthesis of natural products and in epigenetic processes. MTs catalyze the methylation of heteroatoms and even of carbon atoms, which, in many cases, is a challenging reaction in conventional synthesis. C-MTs are often highly substrate-specific. SgvM from Streptomyces griseoviridis features an extended substrate scope with respect to the nucleophile as well as the electrophile. It catalyze the transfer of the electrophilic methyl group of SAM to the C3 position of 4-methyl-2-oxovalerate (alpha-ketoleucine) | Streptomyces griseoviridis |
