Gene Description

SPAC25B8.09 is a soluble methyltransferase type-11 protein found in the nucleus and cytosol. PomBase assigns trans-aconitate methyltransferase activity through curated orthology to budding-yeast Tmt1. This supports a probable small-molecule methyltransferase, while the predominant endogenous substrate and physiological role in fission yeast remain untested. Budding-yeast Tmt1 also methylates 3-isopropylmalate, so trans-aconitate detoxification is not the only plausible metabolic context.

MODIFY
Summary: The methyltransferase uses S-adenosylmethionine.
Reason: The type-11 methyltransferase domain and experimentally grounded Tmt1 orthology support the donor-specific activity, without assigning one universal substrate across the broad family.

ACCEPT
Summary: The type-11 protein is a SAM-dependent methyltransferase.
Reason: Domain architecture and curated Tmt1 orthology support the catalytic class; these do not establish the dominant in vivo methyl acceptor.

UNDECIDED
Summary: Conservation of the budding-yeast amino-acid-starvation response is unresolved.
Reason: The transfer is from experimentally characterized Tmt1, but conservation of small-molecule methylation does not establish conserved regulation or invasive-growth signaling in fission yeast. No target-specific experiment resolving this physiological transfer was found.

ISO
GO_REF:0000024
ACCEPT
Summary: Trans-aconitate methyltransferase activity is supported as a curated orthology inference.
Reason: PomBase’s ISO assignment explicitly traces to TMT1/SGD:S000000977, whose enzyme activity is experimentally characterized. Accept the molecular capability as a reasonable orthology inference while distinguishing it from a target assay or the claim that trans-aconitate is the dominant endogenous substrate.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Detoxification is a plausible non-core consequence of trans-aconitate methylation.
Reason: The curated transfer traces to Tmt1, but even the donor has an additional major endogenous substrate, 3-isopropylmalate. Retain the biological possibility without asserting detoxification as the sole or established physiological purpose in fission yeast.
