Chemical compound and disease context of AHCY

 

Biological context of AHCY

  • Adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase-like protein 1 (AHCYL1) is a novel intracellular protein with approximately 50% protein identity to adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (AHCY), an important enzyme for metabolizing S-adenosyl-l-homocysteine, the by-product of S-adenosyl-l-homomethionine-dependent methylation [12].
  • Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR showed that zAHCYL1A and -B mRNA expression was regulated differently from the other AHCY-like protein zAHCYL2 and zAHCY during zebrafish embryogenesis [12].
  • Our results assign the AHCY locus to the long arm of chromosome 20, in the region cen---- q131 , and ADA to the region q131 ----qter [13].
  • We have used rodent-human somatic hybrids containing translocations involving human chromosome 20 to more precisely determine the relative locations of the AHCY and ADA loci [13].
  • Using the homologous rat cDNA AHCY probe, human AHCY cDNA recombinants were isolated from a placental cDNA library [14].
 

Anatomical context of AHCY

  • Two variant alleles were identified in erythrocyte AHCY using starch gel electrophoresis in a sample of 166 unrelated individuals from the British population [14].
  • A mutant of this cell line which lacks Ado kinase and accumulated endogenously synthesized Ado was resistant to the effects of dAdo on both growth and AdoHcyase activity [10].
  • But information from human mouse somatic-cell hybrids led to the localization of the SAHH gene to human chromosome 20, thereby confirming the findings of Hershfield and Francke (1982) [15].
  • Endothelial cell activities were notably different from those in the human heart particularly in the case of SAHH (nine-fold higher) and PNP (16-fold higher).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[16]
  • The activity of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase decreased throughout the GI tract, indicating a possible disruption of cellular transmethylation and activation of apoptotic pathways [17].
