Formation of quaternary amines by N-methylation of azaheterocycles with homogeneous amine N-methyltransferases.
Crooks P.A., Godin C.S., Damani L.A., Ansher S.S., Jakoby W.B.
Catalytic activities of two amine N-methyltransferases were documented for the following azaheterocycles: isomeric phenyl- and bispyridyls; 2-, 3- and 4-mono-substituted pyridines; and a miscellaneous group of azaheterocycles that included mono- and diazabenzenes and mono- and diazanaphthalenes.

Catalytic activities of two amine N-methyltransferases were documented for the following azaheterocycles: isomeric phenyl- and bispyridyls; 2-, 3- and 4-mono-substituted pyridines; and a miscellaneous group of azaheterocycles that included mono- and diazabenzenes and mono- and diazanaphthalenes. The broad substrate specificities of the two amine N-methyltransferases for primary and secondary amines are here extended to a large number of aromatic azaheterocycles in which N-methylation results in the formation of quaternary ammonium metabolites. Pyridine was the best substrate for both enzymes. Substitution in the ring at the 2-position sterically hindered methylation of the pyridyl nitrogen; 2-phenylpyridine and 2,2'-bispyridyl were not substrates. << Less

The final urinary excretion product of selenium detoxification is trimethylselenonium ion. An assay has been developed for the enzyme, S-adenosylmethionine:thioether S-methyltransferase, responsible for this final methylation reaction. This assay employed high pressure liquid chromatography separation and quantitation of the trimethylselenonium ion produced by thioether methyltransferase acting on S-adenosylmethionine and dimethyl selenide. The enzyme was shown to reside primarily in the cytosol of mouse lung (30 pmol/mg protein/min) and liver (7 pmol/mg protein/min). Purification from mouse lung to a preparation that exhibited a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was achieved by DEAE, gel filtration, and chromatofocusing chromatographies. Thioether methyltransferase is monomeric with a molecular weight of 28,000 and has a pI of 5.3. The pH optimum was 6.3, and Km values for dimethyl selenide and S-adenosylmethionine were 0.4 and 1.0 microM, respectively. The enzyme was inhibited 50% by 25 microM sinefungin, an analog of S-adenosylmethionine, or 40 microM S-adenosylhomocysteine, the reaction product. Pure thioether methyltransferase methylated selenium in dimethyl selenide, tellurium in dimethyl telluride, and S in dimethyl sulfide and many other thioethers. These data suggest a general role for this novel enzyme in the synthesis of onium compounds with increased aqueous solubility helpful in their excretion. << Less
