Summary

MAT2A (methionine adenosyltransferase 2A, HGNC:6904) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2p11.2, encoding S-adenosylmethionine synthase isoform type-2 (P31153). Catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine from methionine and ATP. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 95.0% of cancer cell lines).

The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the production of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) from methionine and ATP. AdoMet is the key methyl donor in cellular processes.

S-adenosylmethionine synthase isoform type-2P31153 (reviewed: P31153)

Alternative names: Methionine adenosyltransferase 2, Methionine adenosyltransferase II

All UniProt accessions (2): P31153, A0A140VJP5

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine from methionine and ATP. The reaction comprises two steps that are both catalyzed by the same enzyme: formation of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) and triphosphate, and subsequent hydrolysis of the triphosphate.

Subunit / interactions. Heterotrimer; composed of a catalytic MAT2A homodimer that binds one regulatory MAT2B chain. Heterohexamer; composed of a central, catalytic MAT2A homotetramer flanked on either side by a regulatory MAT2B chain.

Tissue specificity. Detected in kidney.

Cofactor. Binds 2 magnesium ions per subunit. The magnesium ions interact primarily with the substrate. Binds 1 potassium ion per subunit. The potassium ion interacts primarily with the substrate.

Pathway. Amino-acid biosynthesis; S-adenosyl-L-methionine biosynthesis; S-adenosyl-L-methionine from L-methionine: step 1/1.

Miscellaneous. Protein expression is regulated by post-transcriptional regulation: in presence of S-adenosyl-L-methionine, METTL16 binds and methylates the first hairpin of the 3’-UTR region of MAT2A mRNA, preventing recognition of their 3’-splice site by U2AF1/U2AF35, thereby inhibiting splicing and protein production of S-adenosylmethionine synthase. In S-adenosyl-L-methionine-limiting conditions, METTL16 binds the 3’-UTR region of MAT2A mRNA without methylating it due to the lack of a methyl donor, preventing N6-methylation and promoting expression of MAT2A.

Similarity. Belongs to the AdoMet synthase family.

Enriched among interaction partners

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 144 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
