Disease relevance of Mat1a

 

High impact information on Mat1a

  • Consequently, the ratio of S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoMet) to S-adenosyl homocysteine (AdoHcy) is reduced threefold in liver [4].
  • Molecular mechanisms of an inborn error of methionine pathway. Methionine adenosyltransferase deficiency [5].
  • These observations predict that under pathological conditions where AdoMet levels are diminished, CBS, and therefore glutathione levels, will be reduced [6].
  • Experiments in isolated rat hepatocytes indicate that AdoMet regulates PHB1 content, thus suggesting ways by which steatohepatitis may be induced [7].
  • Liver-specific and nonliver-specific methionine adenosyltransferases (MATs) are products of two genes, MAT1A and MAT2A, respectively, that catalyze the formation of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet), the principal biological methyl donor [8].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Mat1a

 

Biological context of Mat1a

  • Hepatic AdoMet and glutathione levels were reduced by 74 and 40%, respectively, whereas S-adenosylhomocysteine, methylthioadenosine, and global DNA methylation were unchanged [8].
  • As an initial step toward understanding the control of AdoMet synthetase gene expression, we characterized the complete transcription unit of this gene [13].
  • The AdoMet synthetase gene spans approximately 18 kilobases and consists of nine exons ranging from 78 to 1920 bp [13].
  • The mouse AdoMet synthetase shares 98 and 96% amino acid sequence identity with the adult liver enzyme in the rat and human, respectively [13].
  • The -365 to -2-bp DNA region upstream of the transcription start site of the AdoMet synthetase gene contains promoter elements, and the -518 to -366-bp DNA region might be involved in negative gene regulation [13].

Regulatory relationships of Mat1a

 

Other interactions of Mat1a

  • Because changes in the AdoMet/AdoHcy ratio could potentially alter the overall excitatory state of the brain, this effect may play a role in the progressive epilepsy seen in the Pcmt1-/- mice [21].
  • Trimethylated peptides acted as a competitive inhibitor to substrate peptide and mixed inhibitor to AdoMet suggesting a random mechanism in a Bi Bi reaction for recombinant G9a where either substrate can bind first to the enzyme, and either product can release first [22].
  • Lipid peroxidation, transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) expression, and decreases in glutathione levels were prevented by AdoMet [2].
  • The changes in the AdoMet/AdoHcy ratio could not be attributed to increases in the activities of methionine adenosyltransferase II or S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase in the brain tissue of these mice [21].
  • Drug-induced elevations in ODC and, to a lesser extent, AdoMetDC activities were reversed by later treatment with exogenous AdoMet [23].
