Abstract

This family includes thiocyanate methyltransferase ( 2.1.1.n4 ) and thiol S-methyltransferase ( 2.1.1.9 ) which are involved in glucosinolate metabolism and defense against phytopathogens. Thiocyanate methyltransferase is highly reactive to thiocyanate (NCS-) derived from myrosinase-mediated hydrolysis of glucosinolates upon tissue damage [ 1 ].
