The Analysis of S-Adenosylmethionine and S-Adenosylhomocysteine in Normal and Neoplastic Cells [PDF]
Altered patterns of methylation have been shown in both ribosomal and transfer RNA isolated from cancer cells. In contrast to the elevated activity of the methyltransferases responsible for this modification, hypomethylation appears as a general ...

S-Adenosylmethionine for osteoarthritis of the knee or hip [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis is the most common form of joint disease and the leading cause of pain and disability in the elderly. S-Adenosylmethionine may be a viable treatment option but the evidence about its effectiveness and safety is equivocal ...

The mechanism of 7,8-diaminopelargonate synthase; the role of S-adenosylmethionine as the amino donor [PDF]
The mechanism of 7,8-diaminopelargonate synthase was studied. The role of S-adenosylmethionine as the amino donor was discussed. It was found that the product of the first transamination step in the reaction catalyzed by diaminopelargonate (DAPA ...

S-Adenosylmethionine supplementation may reduce cancer-related fatigue. A prospective evaluation using the FACIT-F questionnaire in colon cancer patients undergoing oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy regimens [PDF]
Background: Fatigue is a common distressing symptom for patients living with chronic or acute diseases, including liver disorders and cancer (Cancer-Related Fatigue, CRF). Its etiology is multifactorial, and some hypotheses regarding the pathogenesis are

Streamlined recycling of S-adenosylmethionine [PDF]
S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)-dependent methyltransferase enzymes have significant synthetic potential, but their utility as biocatalysts has been limited by the availability of SAM. An elegant and simple method addressing this long-standing problem has now

FERONIA receptor kinase interacts with S-adenosylmethionine synthetase and suppresses S-adenosylmethionine production and ethylene biosynthesis in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Environmental inputs such as stress can modulate plant cell metabolism, but the detailed mechanism remains unclear. We report here that FERONIA (FER), a plasma membrane receptor-like kinase, may negatively regulate the S-adenosylmethionine (SAM ...

A natural riboswitch scaffold with self-methylation activity
In humans, protein methyltransferase is responsible for RNA methylation using S-adenosylmethionine as a methyl group donor. Here the authors report a self-methylation activity of a bacterial riboswitch.
