Supplementary information

The MASA protein also known simply as MASA presents a molecular mass of approximately 60 kDa. MASA is expressed predominantly in neuronal tissues with specific abundance in areas of the brain linked to cognitive functions. This protein resides within the cytoplasm and shows a strong presence in neurons suggesting its role in nervous system operations. The MASA protein has gathered significant interest in neuroscience for its contribution to cellular processes.
Biological function summary

The MASA protein plays a critical role in cellular communication within neurons. It does not generally form part of a larger protein complex but interacts directly with other proteins to modulate synaptic transmission. Researchers have demonstrated that it influences the release of neurotransmitters impacting neuronal excitability and synaptic plasticity. This protein through its actions is vital for maintaining the functional network among neural cells.

Pathways

MASA protein involves itself in signaling pathways related to synaptic function and plasticity. One of the key pathways includes the NMDA receptor pathway where MASA interacts with proteins like PSD-95. There is also significant interaction with proteins involved in the MAPK signaling pathway. The ability of MASA to influence these pathways points to its integral function in regulating synaptic strength and memory formation in the brain.

Researchers have found associations between MASA protein and certain neurodegenerative diseases. Alzheimer's disease presents strong connections with MASA as the protein appears to influence amyloid-beta processing. In addition the MASA protein has possible links to schizophrenia potentially connected through its interactions with disrupted-in-schizophrenia-1 (DISC1) proteins. These relationships highlight MASA as a potential target for therapeutic strategies aimed at treating neurological disorders.

Target data

Bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the enolization of 2,3-diketo-5-methylthiopentyl-1-phosphate (DK-MTP-1-P) into the intermediate 2-hydroxy-3-keto-5-methylthiopentenyl-1-phosphate (HK-MTPenyl-1-P), which is then dephosphorylated to form the acireductone 1,2-dihydroxy-3-keto-5-methylthiopentene (DHK-MTPene).
