Methionine Hydroxy Analogue (MHA) is a synthetic amino acid derivative of methionine, primarily used in animal nutrition to enhance growth and feed efficiency.

Key research themes

1. How do different methionine sources vary in bioavailability and cellular metabolism across animal species?

This theme investigates the comparative bioavailability, uptake mechanisms, metabolic processing, and growth effects of various methionine forms, including DL-methionine, L-methionine, methionine hydroxy analogues (MHA and HMBi), and their precursors or derivatives across different animal models. Understanding these differences informs nutritional strategies in animal production and aquaculture and elucidates methionine metabolism at the cellular level.

Key finding: Through a slope-ratio assay in rainbow trout, the calcium salt of methionine hydroxy analogue (MHA-Ca) exhibited significantly lower bioavailability (60-73%) than DL-methionine based on growth and nitrogen retention metrics.... Read more
Key finding: Using rainbow trout hepatic cell lines fully depleted of methionine, DL-methionine was more efficiently absorbed and metabolized than the methionine hydroxy analogue (MHA). DL-MET supplementation activated mTOR signaling and... Read more

Key finding: In lactating Holstein cows, supplementation with the isopropyl ester of hydroxy analog of methionine (HMBi) increased plasma methionine by 110% and milk protein yield by 32 g/d, outperforming... Read more
Key finding: In both murine (C2C12) and quail (QM7) myoblast cell lines, L-methionine and DL-methionine supplementation stimulated growth at moderate concentrations, but high concentrations of L-methionine (1000 µM, in C2C12) and DL-HMTBA... Read more
Key finding: Escherichia coli deficient in methionine adenosyltransferase and reliant on exogenous S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) were able to grow on a broad range of in vitro synthesized AdoMet analogues derived from diverse methionine... Read more

2. What molecular and metabolic mechanisms underlie methionine restricted diets and their therapeutic potential in cancer and liver disease?

This theme covers the metabolic alterations caused by methionine restriction or supplementation and their implications for disease treatment, focusing on hepatocellular carcinoma, methionine dependence of tumor cells, and the use of methionine supplements in metabolic inherited diseases. It emphasizes molecular mechanisms involving methionine metabolism, methionine adenosyltransferase regulation, and therapeutic outcomes of methionine modulation.

Key finding: This review elucidates the perturbed methionine cycle in liver diseases culminating in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), highlighting downregulation of the hepatic MAT1A gene and compensatory upregulation of MAT2A (MAT1A:MAT2A... Read more
Key finding: Cancer cells frequently exhibit methionine dependence due to deficiencies in endogenous methionine salvage (e.g., MTAP loss), low methionine synthase activity, or methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase mutations. Methionine... Read more
Key finding: In melanoma models, dietary methionine deprivation (MDD) sensitized tumor cells to radiotherapy by downregulating Mat2a (encoding methionine adenosyltransferase 2A), impairing one-carbon metabolism and methionine... Read more
Key finding: Patients with inherited mutations of the methionine tRNA synthetase gene (MARS1) suffered life-threatening liver and lung disease, which was restored by oral L-methionine (Met) supplementation. The study developed a stable... Read more

3. How are methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) structure and enzymatic function regulated, and what implications does this have for methionine metabolism and drug design?

This theme focuses on the structural biology of MAT enzymes, which catalyze the formation of S-adenosylmethionine from methionine and ATP, integral to methylation reactions. Insights include oligomerization states, substrate binding, conformational flexibility, and active site architecture, informing enzymatic regulation and opportunities for rational drug targeting.

Key finding: The 2.7 Å crystal structure of rat liver MAT I revealed its tetrameric assembly composed of two dimers and identified, for the first time, the methionine-binding site located in the active-site cavity. The methionine analogue... Read more
Key finding: Examining bacterial MAT substrate flexibility, multiple methionine analogues yielded AdoMet derivatives supporting Pseudomonas and Escherichia coli growth, indicating that MAT enzymes tolerate diverse modifications. This... Read more
Key finding: This study reveals that methionine supplementation elevates mitochondrial respiratory activity and TCA cycle function while enhancing pyruvate uptake in yeast. Loss of pyruvate transporters in snf1Δ strains leads to... Read more
