background:
his gene encodes an enzyme that belongs to theaci-reductone dioxygenase family of metal-binding enzymes, whichare involved in methionine salvage. This enzyme may regulate mRNAprocessing in the nucleus, and may carry out different functionsdepending on its localization. Related pseudogenes have beendefined on chromosomes 8 and 20.
Function:
Catalyzes the formation of formate and2-keto-4-methylthiobutyrate (KMTB) from1,2-dihydroxy-3-keto-5-methylthiopentene (DHK-MTPene). Alsodown-regulates cell migration mediated by MMP14. Necessary forhepatitis C virus replication in an otherwise non-permissive cellline.
Subunit:
Monomer (By similarity). Interacts with MMP14.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cell membrane;Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Note=Localizes tothe plasma membrane when complexed to MMP14.
Tissue Specificity:
Detected in heart, colon, lung, stomach,brain, spleen, liver, skeletal muscle and kidney.
Similarity:
Belongs to the acireductone dioxygenase (ARD) family.
Database links:
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: Q08554.2
