Dimethylsulfonioproprionate lyase DddQ

UniProtKB accession:  Q5LT18

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  May act as a dimethylsulfonioproprionate (DMSP) in vitro, releasing dimethyl sulfide (DMS). DMS is the principal form by which sulfur is transported from oceans to the atmosphere (PubMed:20880330). The real activity of the protein is however subject to debate and it is unclear whether it constitutes a real dimethylsulfonioproprionate lyase in vivo (Probable).
