EC 2.1.1.269     
Accepted name: dimethylsulfoniopropionate demethylase
Reaction: S,S-dimethyl-β-propiothetin + tetrahydrofolate = 3-(methylsulfanyl)propanoate + 5-methyltetrahydrofolate

Glossary: S,S-dimethyl-β-propiothetin = 3-(S,S-dimethylsulfonio)propanoate
Other name(s): dmdA (gene name); dimethylsulfoniopropionate-dependent demethylase A
Systematic name: S,S-dimethyl-β-propiothetin:tetrahydrofolate S-methyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme from the marine bacteria Pelagibacter ubique and Ruegeria pomeroyi are specific towards S,S-dimethyl-β-propiothetin. They do not demethylate glycine-betaine [1,2].
