[Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase]-lysine N-methyltransferase ( EC 2.1.1.259) ^{[1] [2]} is an enzyme that catalyses the following chemical reaction:

3 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + [fructose-bisphosphate aldolase]-L-lysine ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ 3 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + [fructose-bisphosphate aldolase]-N⁶,N⁶,N⁶-trimethyl-L-lysine

The enzyme methylates a conserved lysine in the C-terminal part of higher plant fructose-bisphosphate aldolase ( EC 4.1.2.13).

Nomenclature

The systematic name of the enzyme is:

• S-adenosyl-L-methionine:(fructose-bisphosphate aldolase)-lysine N⁶-methyltransferase

Other names are:
