Resumo

One-carbon metabolism influences gene expression by providing methyl units for DNA, RNA, and histone methylation. Robust methylation requires rapid hydrolysis of the methylation by-product S- adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) by S- adenosylhomocysteinase (Ahcy). Here, we show Ahcy is a redox-sensitive enzyme that is inhibited by oxidation of a conserved cysteine, C195, in vitro and in vivo . Transient oxidation of Ahcy is neuroprotective in a Drosophila light stress model where it results in rapid gene expression changes and protects against retinal degeneration. Thus, redox sensing by the one-carbon metabolic enzyme Ahcy enables rapid changes in gene expression in response to changes in redox homeostasis.

The manuscript by Stanhope et al. investigates the role of the one-carbon metabolism enzyme S-Adenosylhomocysteinase (Ahcy) in the alteration of neurodegeneration gene expression in Drosophila. The authors found that oxidation of C195 of Ahcy inhibits its activity, leading to neuroprotective…
