5-Methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase

5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase, also known as MTR, is a human gene.cite web | title = Entrez Gene: MTR 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase| url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=4548| accessdate = ]

summary_text = "MTR" encodes the enzyme 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase. This enzyme, also known as cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase, catalyzes the final step in methionine biosynthesis. Mutations in MTR have been identified as the underlying cause of methylcobalamin deficiency complementation group G.cite web | title = Entrez Gene: MTR 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase| url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=4548| accessdate = ]

5-Methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase or (MTR) is an enzyme responsible for the production of methionine from homocysteine. MTR forms part of the S-adenosyl methionine cycle and is also called methionine synthase. [cite journal |author=Banerjee RV, Matthews RG |title=Cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase |journal=FASEB J. |volume=4 |issue=5 |pages=1450–9 |year=1990 |pmid=2407589 |url=http://www.fasebj.org/cgi/reprint/4/5/1450.pdf]

Function

MTR contains the cofactor - methylcobalamin (MeB12) and uses the substrates N5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate (N5-methyl-THF) and homocysteine.

The enzyme works in two steps in a ping-pong reaction. First, methylcobalamin is formed by a methyl group transfer from N5-mTHF with formation of MeB12 and tetrahydrofolate (THF). In the second step, MeB12 transfers this methyl group to (homocysteine), regenerating the cofactor cobalamin and releasing the product methionine


MTR is the only mammalian enzyme that metabolizes 5-methylTHF to regenerate the active cofactor, tetrahydrofolate. Deficiency in MTR function may be due to genetic mutations, reduced levels of its cobalamin cofactor (vitamin B12), or decreased levels of the enzyme methionine synthase reductase (required for the sustained activity of MTR).

The consequence of reduced MTR activity is megaloblastic anemia.

Genetics

Several polymorphisms in "MTR" have been identified.2756A->G (Asp919Gly)
