Histone methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism that regulates chromatin states and gene expression. Different modification sites and degrees of methylation produce distinct transcriptional effects, and their dysregulation is closely associated with tumorigenesis, impaired cell ...

MTAP loss disrupts the methionine salvage pathway, resulting in the accumulation of 5′-methylthioadenosine (MTA) and partial inhibition of PRMT5 activity. Cancer cells consequently enter a state with limited PRMT5 functional reserve and develop greater dependence on residual PRMT5 activity and ...
In 2016, two independent studies published in Science found that cancer cells deficient in methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) were more sensitive to partial depletion of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5).[1,2] This finding emerged from large-scale functional genomic screens and ...
MAT catalyzes the conversion of methionine and ATP into S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). SAM is not only one of the most central active methyl donors in cells, but also lies at the intersection of one-carbon metabolism, epigenetic regulation, and stress adaptation. As mechanisms involving MAT1A/MAT2A ...
