ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.158

Accepted Name
7-methylxanthosine synthase
Alternative Name(s)
xanthosine methyltransferase
XMT
XRS1
Reaction catalysed
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + xanthosine <=> 7-methylxanthosine + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme is specific for xanthosine, as XMP and xanthine cannot act as substrates.
  • The enzyme does not have N(1)- or N(3)- methylation activity.
  • This is the first methylation step in the production of caffeine.
