Furthermore, a demethylation pathway is known through which DMSP is first converted into methylmercaptopropanoic acid (17) by the tetrahydrofolate (FH4)-dependent demethylase, DmdA (Scheme 2B) [26
- labelling into dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), the oxidative dimerization product from MeSH, showing the activity of the demethylation pathway in these bacteria. However, knockout of the dmdA gene in R. pomeroyi still gave a low incorporation of labelling into DMDS, suggesting the presence of another gene
- responsible for the demethylation activity [28]. Also the labelling from (34S)DMSP was efficiently incorporated into DMDS and dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS) [29]. Our previous investigations have also demonstrated that synthetic, i.e., non-natural DMSP analogues such as 3-(ethylmethyl)sulfoniopropanoate (EMSP), 3
