Reactive methyl cycle and production of DPD. SAM-dependent methyltransferases convert SAM to SAH, accumulation of which confers product-feedback inhibition on methyltransferase reactions. SAH is detoxified to SRH by Pfs. SRH is converted to homocysteine and DPD by LuxS. Homocysteine can be recycled to SAM via MetH, which generates methionine, and MetK.
