Comments:

TYW4 is a Ado-Met-dependent carboxymethyltransferase. It catalyzes two reactions: methylation of the α-carboxy group of yW-72 to form yW-58 and methoxycarbonylation of α-amino group of yW-58 to complete yW. It is proposed that these two reactions are performed with a single catalytic site. The methoxycarbonylation reaction may proceed through carbamate formation with CO2 and methylation with SAM, which results in CO2 fixation
