Mutation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae preventing uptake of S-adenosylmethionine.

A mutant has been isolated whose aberration severely restricts the ability of cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to take up S-adenosylmethionine. The mutation apparently also affects adenosylhomocysteine uptake, but not that of the S-adenosylmethionine moieties adenine, homocysteine, homoserine, or methionine, nor the sulfonium compound, S-methylmethionine. It is a single, chromosomal mutation w...

Inhibitory Effect of Vitamin U (S-Methylmethionine Sulfonium Chloride) on Differentiation in 3T3-L1 Pre-adipocyte Cell Lines

BACKGROUND S-methylmethionine sulfonium chloride was originally called vitamin U because of its inhibition of ulceration in the digestive system. Vitamin U is ubiquitously expressed in the tissues of flowering plants, and while there have been reports on its hypolipidemic effect, its precise function remains unknown. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to evaluate the anti-obesity effect of vit...

Sulfur-containing Compounds in Lemna perpusilla 6746 Grown at a Range of Sulfate Concentrations.

Lemna perpusilla 6746, grown photoautotrophically at a series of sulfate concentrations ranging from 0.32 to 1,000 mum, was labeled to radioisotopic equilibrium with (35)SO(4) (2-). Sulfur-containing compounds were isolated and purified from the colonies. Radioactivity in each compound was a measure of the amount of that compound present in the tissue. The following compounds were identified an...
