Disease relevance of S-adenosylhomocysteine

  • Here we report four crystal structures of TrmD from Haemophilus influenzae, as binary complexes with either AdoMet or S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (AdoHcy), as a ternary complex with AdoHcy and phosphate, and as an apo form [1].
  • We report here the crystal structures of the bacteriophage T4Dam DNA adenine methyltransferase (MTase) in a binary complex with the methyl-donor product S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (AdoHcy) and in a ternary complex with a synthetic 12-bp DNA duplex and AdoHcy [2].
  • We have tried to determine whether inactivation of AdoHcyase might also contribute to dAdo toxicity to adenosine deaminase-inhibited cells. dAdo rapidly inactivates intracellular AdoHcyase and causes the accumulation of AdoHcy in WI-L2 human B lymphoblastoid cells [3].
  • Reactivation of AdoHcy hydrolase with a concomitant decrease in cellular level of AdoHcy could also be demonstrated with mouse plasmacytoma (MPC-11) cells and mouse fibroblasts (L-929) exposed to ara-A, but the reactivation process was far less pronounced than with hepatocytes [4].
  • Thus, in the presence of Hcy, lower concentrations of DHCA are needed to increase the intracellular concentration of AdoHcy and the AdoHcy/AdoMet ratio to levels that suppress replication of vaccinia virus [5].

Anatomical context of S-adenosylhomocysteine

  • However, the rate of elimination of the complex in the hepatocytes exceeded the rate of reactivation of AdoHcy hydrolase [4].
  • Whereas the inactivation in cell-free systems is an irreversible process, the AdoHcy hydrolase activity in rat hepatocytes exposed to ara-A gradually recovered upon prolonged incubation of the cells in a medium devoid of ara-A [4].
  • This selective suppression was also observed when enriched murine T and B cells were stimulated with mitogens, although S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (AdoHcy), the substrate of AdoHcyase, was similarly elevated in both populations [11].
  • AdoHcy hydrolase activity in spleens of DZ2002-treated mice was substantially blocked, and not surprisingly, AdoHcy levels were significantly elevated compared with controls [12].
  • Progesterone production by cells from 4 CL was unaffected by the presence of SAH when treated with Medium 199 (M199) (75 +/- 32), 10 micrograms cholera toxin, which directly stimulates adenylate cyclase on the cytoplasmic side of plasma membranes (168 +/- 19), or 3 mM dibutyryl cAMP (210 +/- 40).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[13]
