Abstract Methylation of alkyl thiols is a biotransformation pathway designed to reduce thiol reactivity and potential toxicity, yet the gene protein responsible for human methyltransferase (TMT) activity remain unknown. Here we demonstrate with range experimental approaches using cell lines, in vitro systems, recombinantly expressed enzyme, that methyltransferase-like 7B (METTL7B) catalyzes transfer methyl group from S- adenosyl- l -methionine (AdoMet) hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) other...

-methylation of drugs containing thiol-moieties often alters their activity and results in detoxification. Historically, scientists attributed methylation exogenous aliphatic phenolic thiols to a putative

Abstract Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are part of a growing class epigenetic therapies used for the treatment cancer. Although HDACis effective in T-cell lymphomas, solid tumors with this drugs has not been successful. Overexpression multidrug resistance protein P-glycoprotein (P-gp), encoded by ABCB1, is known to confer HDACi romidepsin vitro, yet increased ABCB1 expression associated patients, suggesting that other mechanisms arise clinic. To identify alternative romidepsin, we...

ABSTRACT Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) are part of a growing class epigenetic therapies used for the treatment cancer. While elevated levels efflux pump P-gp associated with in vitro resistance to romidepsin, this mechanism does not translate clinic. We developed romidepsin-resistant cell line independent function that acts upstream deacetylation process. found expression methyltransferase METTL7A is necessary resistance, and naïve cells can drive thiol-containing HDACis....
