Methionine synthesis from 5'-methylthioadenosine in rat liver.
A pathway resulting in the formation of methionine from the 5'-methylthioadenosine is shown in vitro using cell-free homogenates of rat liver. Under the conditions used, methionine was the major product produced, as determined by its chemical and chromatographic properties. The kinetics of product formation indicated that 5'-methylthioadenosine is first rapidly converted to 5-methylthioribose 1...
متن کاملSilencing of Diphthamide Synthesis 3 (Dph3) Reduces Metastasis of Murine Melanoma
Melanoma is the most dangerous skin cancer due to its highly metastatic potential and resistance to chemotherapy. Currently, there is no effective treatment for melanoma once it is progressed to metastatic stage. Therefore, further study to elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying the metastasis of melanoma cells is urgently required for the improvement of melanoma treatment. In the present...
متن کاملMethylthioadenosine (MTA) Rescues Methylthioadenosine Phosphorylase (MTAP)-Deficient Tumors from Purine Synthesis Inhibition in Vivo via Non-Autonomous Adenine Supply
Methylthioadenosine phosphorylase, (MTAP) is a key enzyme in the adenine and methionine salvage pathways. MTAP is encoded on human chromosome 9p21 in close proximity to the p16INK4a and p14ARF tumor suppressor genes and is frequently co-deleted with p16INK4a in many cancers. Deletion of MTAP has been reported to create a reliance of MTAP tumors on de novo purine synthesis to maintain adequate p...
متن کاملMethylthioadenosine promotes remyelination by inducing oligodendrocyte differentiation
Background: Methylthioadenosine is a metabolite of the polyamine pathway that modulates methyltransferase activity, thereby influencing DNA and protein methylation. Since methylthioadenosine produces neuroprotection in models of inflammation, ischemia and epilepsy, we set out to evaluate the role of methylthioadenosine in promoting remyelination, a process that will protect axons in demyelinati...
متن کاملMODULATION OF MITOCHONDRIAL UPTAKE OF A DENOSINE BY NITROBENZYLTHIOINOSINE
In this study the uptake and metabolism of adenosine by mitochondria has been investigated. Incubation of CEM cells mitochondria preparation with [3H] -adenosine showed substantial uptake and metabolism of adenosine. Adenosine was both anabolized to AMP, ADP and ATP, and also catabolized to inosine. The highest concentration of metabolites in extracted mitochondria was due to AMP. The mito...
