Abstract
A proteinacious inhibitor with a molecular weight of 1,600 Da which inhibits S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent transmethylation reactions was purified from porcine liver to homogeneity by procedures including boiling, Sephadex G-25 column chromatography and repeated HPLC. Employing both Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Fast Atom Bombardment-Mass (FAB-Mass) spectroscopy, S-adenosylhomocysteine was conclusively identified as an integral part of the inhibitor. The purified S-adenosylhomocysteine was competitive with S-adenosyl-L-methionine with Ki value of 6.3×10-6 M towards protein methylase II.
