Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) catalyzes S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) synthesis, which is utilized as a methyl donor in transmethylation reactions. MATII, a MAT isozyme, is composed of the catalytic α and regulatory β subunits. Both of the subunits are recruited to a subset of target genes of Bach1 and MafK to facilitate their repression. However, it has been unclear how the nuclear accumulation of MATII subunits is regulated. Using overexpression and bimolecular fluorescence complementation, we found that MATIIβ promoted the nuclear localization of the α subunit and that resulting heterooligomer was present predominantly in nuclear compartment. A single serine residue of α subunit was required for its interaction with β subunit and efficient nuclear accumulation.These results suggest that β subunit defines nulcear-specific MAT isozyme by facilitating nuclear import of its catalytic subunit.
