Glucocorticoid regulation of hepatic S-adenosylmethionine synthetase gene expression.
The effects of glucocorticoids on the regulation of rat liver S-adenosylmethionine synthetase were studied in vivo and in two culture systems. Livers from adrenalectomized animals were examined for enzyme activity, immunoreactive protein, and messenger RNA (mRNA) content. All three parameters showed a similar trend, i.e. they decreased 3-fold after adrenalectomy and increased over the control v...
متن کاملPhytohormonal regulation of S-adenosylmethionine synthetase and S-adenosylmethionine levels in dwarf pea epicotyls.
A significant stimulation (2- to 2.5-fold) of AdoMet synthetase was witnessed in glibberellicd acid (GA3, 1 microM)-treated epicotyls of the dwarf pea (Pisum sativum). This was accompanied by a 2.4-fold increase in the endogenous pool of S-adenosylmethionine. Both abscisic acid (10 microM) and cycloheximide (20 micrograms/ml) inhibited the GA3-mediated enhancement of AdoMet synthetase activity....
متن کاملRegulation of S-adenosylmethionine synthetase in Escherichia coli.
Addition of methionine to the growth medium of Escherichia coli K-12 leads to a reduction in the specific activity of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) synthetase. Thus the enzyme appears to be repressible rather than inducible. Mutant strains (probably metJ(-)) are constitutive for SAM synthetase as well as for the methionine biosynthetic enzymes, suggesting that the regulatory systems for these enzy...
متن کاملIdentification of the reactive sulfhydryl groups of S-adenosylmethionine synthetase.
S-Adenosylmethionine synthetase from Escherichia coli is rapidly inactivated by N-ethylmaleimide. In the presence of excess N-ethylmaleimide inactivation follows pseudo first-order kinetics, and loss of enzyme activity correlates with the incorporation of 2 eq of N-[ethyl-2-3H]maleimide/subunit. Preincubation of the enzyme with methionine and the ATP analog adenylylimidodiphosphate reduced the ...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of Plasmodium falciparum S-adenosylmethionine synthetase.
S-Adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) synthetase (SAMS: EC 2.5.1.6) catalyses the formation of AdoMet from methionine and ATP. We have cloned a gene for Plasmodium falciparum AdoMet synthetase (PfSAMS) (GenBank accession no. AF097923), consisting of 1209 base pairs with no introns. The gene encodes a polypeptide (PfSAMS) of 402 amino acids with a molecular mass of 44844 Da, and has an overall base comp...
