TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: A complete inventory of all enzymes in the eukaryotic methionine salvage pathway

The methionine salvage pathway is universally used to regenerate methio-nine from 5¢-methylthioadenosine, a byproduct of certain reactions involv-ing S-adenosylmethionine. We identified and verified the genes encoding the enzymes of all steps in this cycle in a commonly used eukaryotic model system: the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. | ỊFEBS Journal A complete inventory of all enzymes in the eukaryotic methionine salvage pathway Ivan Pirkov Joakim Norbeck Lena Gustafsson and Eva Albers Department of Chemicaland BiologicalEngineering - Molecular Biotechnology Chalmers University of Technology Goteborg Sweden Keywords 4-methylthio-2-oxobutyrate transaminases 5 -methylthioribulose-1-phosphate dehydratase Mde1p Mri1p Saccharomyces cerevisiae Correspondence E.

We identified and verified the genes encoding the enzymes of all steps in this cycle in a commonly used eukaryotic model system the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The genes encoding 5 -methyl-thioribose-1-phosphate isomerase and 5 -methylthioribulose-1-phosphate dehydratase are herein named MRI1 and MDE1 respectively. The 5 -meth-ylthioadenosine phosphorylase was verified as Meu1p the 2 3-dioxomethi-opentane-1-phosphate enolase phosphatase as Utr4p and the aci-reductone dioxygenase as Adi1p. The homologue of the enolase phosphatase gene YNL010w was excluded from its candidate role in the cycle. The methodology used involved auxotrophic growth tests and analysis of intracellular 5 -methylthioadenosine in deletion mutants. The last step a transamination of 4-methylthio-2-oxobutyrate to yield methionine was found to be a highly redundant step. It was catalysed by amino acid transaminases mainly coupled with aromatic and branched chain amino acids as amino donors but also with proline lysine and glutamate glutamine. The aromatic amino acid transaminases Aro8p and Aro9p and the .
