- 3 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + glycine 3 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + betaine (overall reaction)
- (1a) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + glycine S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + sarcosine
- (1b) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + sarcosine S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N,N-dimethylglycine
- (1c) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + N,N-dimethylglycine S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + betaine
This enzyme from the halophilic methanoarchaeon Methanohalophilus portucalensis can methylate glycine and all of its intermediates to form the compatible solute trimethylglycine.
