What's a GeneRIF?

Data showed that co-expression of MET6 and SAM2 improved intracellular methionine availability and redirected the methionine to S-adenosyl-L-methionine biosynthesis.
Title: Improving methionine and ATP availability by MET6 and SAM2 co-expression combined with sodium citrate feeding enhanced SAM accumulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
We conclude that ScMET 6p and CaMET 6p require a minimum of two glutamates on the methyltetrahydrofolate substrate, similar to the bacterial metE homologs.
