| Type: | Domain | Name: | Mycolic acid cyclopropane synthase-like domain |
| Description: | Some bacteria synthesise betaine from glycine by a three-step methylation process. The first enzyme, glycine/sarcosine N-methyltransferase, leads to the formation of either sarcosine or N,N-dimethylglycine, which is further methylated to yield betaine (N,N,N-trimethylglycine) by the action of sarcosine/dimethylglycine N-methyltransferase. Both of these enzymes can catalyse the formation of N,N-dimethylglycine from sarcosine [].This entry represents a helix hairpin domain found in several putative sarcosine-dimethylglycine methyltransferases. | Short Name: | Cyclopro_synthase-like_dom |
