Known members of the plant SABATH family of methyltransferases have important biological
functions by methylating hormones, signalling molecules and other metabolites. While all …

Abstract Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), gibberellins (GAs), salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid
(JA) exist in methyl ester forms in plants in addition to their free acid forms. The enzymes that …

Evolutionary mechanisms of substrate specificities of enzyme families remain poorly
understood. Plant SABATH methyltransferases catalyze methylation of the carboxyl group of …

Known SABATH methyltransferases, all of which were identified from seed plants, catalyze
methylation of either the carboxyl group of a variety of low molecular weight metabolites or …

It has been a quarter century since salicylic acid methyltransferase, the founding member of
the plant SABATH enzyme family, was discovered. From making methyl benzoate to …

In plants, one of the most common modifications of secondary metabolites is methylation
catalyzed by various methyltransferases. Recently, a new class of methyltransferases, the …

Salicylic acid methyltransferase (SAMT), benzoic acid methyltransferase (BAMT) and
theobromine methyltransferase (TH)(henceforth, SABATH) family proteins belong to a …

Plant SABATH family members catalyze the methylation of many hormones, signaling
molecules, and floral scent metabolites, including salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and …

The SABATH family proteins catalyse S-adenosyl-l-methionine-dependent methylation of
hormones, signal molecules and other metabolites in plants, and they play an important role …

ABSTRACT SABATH methyltransferases convent plant small-molecule metabolites into
volatile methyl esters, which play important roles in many biological processes and defense …
