Methionine catabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The catabolism of methionine to methionol and methanethiol in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied using (13)C NMR spectroscopy, GC-MS, enzyme assays and a number of mutants. Methionine is first transaminated to alpha-keto-gamma-(methylthio)butyrate. Methionol is formed by a decarboxylation reaction, which yields methional, followed by reduction. The decarboxylation is effected specifically by ...
متن کاملN-terminal methionine removal and methionine metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Methionine aminopeptidase (MetAP) catalyzes removal of the initiator methionine from nascent polypeptides. In eukaryotes, there are two forms of MetAP, type 1 and type 2, whose combined activities are essential, but whose relative intracellular roles are unclear. Methionine metabolism is an important aspect of cellular physiology, involved in oxidative stress, methylation, and cell cycle. Due t...
متن کاملEnhancing S-adenosyl-methionine catabolism extends Drosophila lifespan
Methionine restriction extends the lifespan of various model organisms. Limiting S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM) synthesis, the first metabolic reaction of dietary methionine, extends longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans but accelerates pathology in mammals. Here, we show that, as an alternative to inhibiting SAM synthesis, enhancement of SAM catabolism by glycine N-methyltransferase (Gnmt) extends ...
متن کاملDiversity of L-methionine catabolism pathways in cheese-ripening bacteria.
Enzymatic activities that could be involved in methanethiol generation in five cheese-ripening bacteria were assayed, and the major sulfur compounds produced were identified. L-Methionine and alpha-keto-gamma-methyl-thio-butyric acid demethiolating activities were detected in whole cells and cell extracts (CFEs) of all the bacteria tested. No L-methionine deaminase activity could be detected in...
