Regulation of the Human MAT2B Gene Encoding the Regulatory β Subunit of Methionine Adenosyltransferase, MAT II
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) catalyzes the biosynthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet), a key molecule in transmethylation reactions and polyamine biosynthesis. The MAT II isozyme consists of a catalytic alpha2 and a regulatory beta subunit. Down-regulation of the MAT II beta subunit expression causes a 6-10-fold increase in intracellular AdoMet levels. To understand the mechanism by which the beta...
