Adenosylhomocysteinase (EC 3.3.1.1, S-adenosylhomocysteine synthase, S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, S-adenosylhomocysteinase, SAHase, AdoHcyase) is an enzyme that converts S-adenosylhomocysteine to homocysteine and adenosine.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H2O ⇌ L-homocysteine + adenosine
The enzyme contains one tightly bound NAD+ per subunit. The mechanism involves dehydrogenative oxidation of the 3'-OH of the ribose. The resulting ketone is susceptible to α-deprotonation. The resulting carbanion eliminates thiolate. The a,b-unsaturated ketone is then hydrated, and the ketone is reduced by the NADH.
This enzyme is encoded by the AHCY gene in humans,[3][4] which is believed to have a prognostic role in neuroblastoma.[5]
