Polar Interactions at the Dimer–Dimer Interface of Methionine Adenosyltransferase MAT I Control Tetramerization

Polar Interactions at the Dimer–Dimer Interface of Methionine Adenosyltransferase MAT I Control Tetramerization

Catalytic MATα1 subunits associate into kinetically distinct homo-dimers (MAT III) and homo-tetramers (MAT I) that synthesize S-adenosylmethionine in the adult liver. Pathological reductions in S-adenosylmethionine levels correlate with MAT III accumulation; thus, it is important to know the determi...
