Abstract excerpt
S-adenosyl-l-methionine (AdoMet) is a molecule central to general metabolism, serving as a principal methyl donor for methylation of various cellular constituents. The alteration in the availability of AdoMet has profound effect on cell growth. A mutant allele of Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene SAH1 encoding S-adenosyl-l-homocysteine (AdoHcy) hydrolase, was isolated as a mutation that suppressed the...
