Abstract

S-Adenosylmethionine:homocysteine methyltransferase activity was monitored during embryogenesis of the housefly, Musca domestica. A rapid decrease in the activity of S-adenosylmethionine:homocysteine methyltransferase was observed during the first 3 hr of embryogenesis. Activity continued to decline less rapidly until hatching at 12 hr. An inverse relationship was found to exist between the activities of S-adenosylmethionine:homocysteine methyltransferase and the tRNA methyltransferases during Musca embryogenesis.
