Fig. 4

a Crystal structure of CkTcS dimer. SAH and 1,3,7-trimethyluric acid (5) are shown in ball-and-stick representation. b Structural overlap of CkTcS (pink) with DXMT (blue) and XMT (grey), with the major structural difference around the substrate binding pocket between CkTcS, DXMT, and XMT highlighted. c A close-up view of the CkTcS-1,3,7-trimethyluric acid interactions. The hydrogen bonds are shown in red dashed lines. d A close-up view of the π–π-stacking interactions. e In vitro methylation assay of wild-type (WT) or mutants of CkTbS using 1,3,7-trimethyluric acid as substrate, with CkTcS as positive control. Data represent mean ± SD (n = 3). The corresponding dot plots are overlaid on the figure. The experiment was repeated twice. Differences were assessed statistically by two-tailed Student’s t-test, ****P < 0.0001, *P < 0.05.
