S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase and methylation disorders: Yeast as a model system

► AdoHcy is a potent product inhibitor of AdoMet-dependent methyltransferases. ► AdoHcy accumulates in hyperhomocysteinemia. ► Yeast is an advantageous system to understand AdoHcy toxicity. ► Lipid metabolism is deregulated in response to AdoHcy accumulation.
