Gene Description

BAT1 (ECA39/TWT1) encodes the mitochondrial branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase (BCAT, EC 2.6.1.42) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a PLP-dependent fold-type IV transaminase imported into the mitochondrial matrix by an N-terminal presequence. Bat1 catalyses the last step in the synthesis of L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine, transaminating the branched-chain 2-keto acids generated by the matrix ILV pathway with glutamate. BAT1 and its cytosolic paralog BAT2 arose from the whole-genome duplication and have subfunctionalized: BAT1 is highly expressed under biosynthetic conditions and repressed by BCAAs, whereas BAT2 carries most of the catabolic (Ehrlich pathway) transamination. bat1 bat2 double mutants are auxotrophic for Ile, Leu and Val. Bat1 can also transaminate 2-keto-4-methylthiobutyrate in methionine salvage and has been linked to TORC1 signalling and cell-cycle phenotypes, probably via metabolic effects. BAT1 was isolated as a high-copy suppressor of an atm1 mutant.

Summary: High-throughput affinity-purification/MS study recovering the Bat2 paralog with BAT1. Bat1 and Bat2 are 81% identical BCAT paralogs and eukaryotic BCATs are homodimers, so co-purification most plausibly reflects paralog hetero-association of tagged protein in extracts; the two proteins are normally in different compartments (matrix vs cytosol). 'protein binding' conveys no functional information and no more specific MF term (e.g. a regulatory or scaffold activity) is supported. Removal does not mean the interaction is false.

Summary: RCA from YeastPathways LEUSYN-PWY-1 (L-leucine biosynthesis). BAT1 transaminates L-isoleucine/2-oxoglutarate (Rhea:24801 in UniProt), so the MF is correct for this protein. Note that the source YeastPathways reaction in LEUSYN-PWY-1 is the leucine transamination, yet the YeastPathways-to-GO conversion emitted the isoleucine-specific term; this is a conversion artefact, although the statement is still true for this enzyme.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: RCA from YeastPathways PWY3O-351 (superpathway of methionine salvage pathway), where BAT1 is assigned the BCAT step. UniProt (citing PMID:18625006, not cached) states Bat1 can aminate KMTB to methionine in the salvage cycle using BCAAs as donors; Aro8/Aro9 and Bat2 also contribute. A real but secondary activity of a promiscuous transaminase.

Summary: RCA from YeastPathways ILEUSYN-PWY-1 (L-isoleucine biosynthesis I (from threonine)), where BAT1 is assigned the BCAT step. Correct: Bat1 catalyses the final step (step 4/4) of L-isoleucine synthesis.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:8798704
deletion of both genes resulted in an auxotrophy for branched-chain amino acids (Ile, Leu, and Val)
PMID:21267457
Above presented results indicate that in a wild type strain Bat1 displays a biosynthetic character while Bat2 has a prominent catabolic role.

Core Functions

Mitochondrial matrix branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.42, PLP-dependent) catalysing the final step of L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine biosynthesis: transamination of 2-oxoisocaproate, (S)-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate and 2-oxoisovalerate using L-glutamate as amino donor. It is the predominant biosynthetic BCAT isozyme; cytosolic Bat2 provides partial redundancy.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:8798704
    Mitochondria and cytosol isolated from bat1 and bat2 deletion mutants, respectively, contained largely reduced activities for the conversion of branched-chain 2-ketoacids to their corresponding amino acids
  • PMID:8798704
    encodes a protein of 393 amino acid residues with an NH2-terminal extension that directs Bat1p to the mitochondrial matrix
  • PMID:8798704
    deletion of both genes resulted in an auxotrophy for branched-chain amino acids (Ile, Leu, and Val)
  • PMID:21267457
    Above presented results indicate that in a wild type strain Bat1 displays a biosynthetic character while Bat2 has a prominent catabolic role.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Is the RCA conversion of every YeastPathways BCAT reaction (Leu, Val and the methionine-salvage R15-RXN) to GO:0052656 L-isoleucine:2-oxoglutarate transaminase activity a systematic mapping error that should be fixed at source?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Measure 13C-leucine flux to fusel alcohols in wild type, bat1, bat2 and bat2 strains expressing presequence-less Bat1, under ammonium vs BCAA nitrogen sources.

Hypothesis: Bat1 contributes to BCAA catabolism in the matrix only when cytosolic Bat2 is absent or limiting.

SGD gene description for BAT1 (yeast)

Mitochondrial branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) aminotransferase; preferentially involved in BCAA biosynthesis; homolog of murine ECA39; highly expressed during logarithmic phase and repressed during stationary phase; BAT1 has a paralog, BAT2, that arose from the whole genome duplication
