Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
cloning, disruption and expression of the two genes MET12 and MET13 encoding isoenzymes of MTHFR, MET12 is located on chromosome XVI and encodes a 657 amino acids protein, MET13 is located on chromosome VII, encodes a 599 amino acids protein and is responsible for most of the activity in cell, expression in Escherichia coli BL21 Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information mutant strain RRY1 with single disruption of MET13 and strain RRY3 with double disruption of both MET12 and MET13, but not strain RRY2 with single disruption of MET12, result in loss of MTHFR activity and methionine auxothrophy, they can be complemented by overexpression of the human enzyme, but not by overexpression of the Escherichia coli metF gene Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
menadione inhibits enzyme activity in yeast extracts Saccharomyces cerevisiae
additional information gene contains a putative S-adenosylmethionione binding sequence, that is inhibitory in eukaryotic MTHFR Saccharomyces cerevisiae
