obsolete L-methionine catabolic process to 3-methylthiopropanol https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/30202 true OBSOLETE. The chemical reactions and pathways involving the catabolism of branched chain amino acids to produce branched chain alcohols with one carbon less than the starting amino acid. In S. cerevisiae, this is known to occur for leucine, isoleucine, valine, methionine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, or tryptophan. When L-methionine is used as the substrate, 3-methylthiopropanol is produced. Often referred to as the Ehrlich pathway, these reactions generally occur during fermentation to produce a variety of alcohols, often collectively referred to as fusel alcohols. Depending on the redox state of the cells, carboxylic acid derivatives may be produced instead of alcohols. GO:0000951 biological_process This term was obsoleted because it represents a specific instance of a pathway that should be captured as a GO-CAM model. L-methionine catabolic process
