Polyglutamated folates are substrates for generation of the primary metyhl group donor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)[1]. Disease Mutations in FPGS are associated with increased childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia[2]. Relevance FPGS status is a predictor of chemosensitivity of colon cancer cells to 5-fluorouracil and methotrexate based chemotherapy and FPGS gene transfer may increase the sensitivity of colon cancer cells to 5-FU-based chemotherapy[3]. Structural highlights The nucleotide-binding pocket of FPGS occupies a of the protein and [4]. Water molecules shown as red spheres.
