Mechanism of phenylalanine regulation of phenylalanine hydroxylase.
The mechanism of phenylalanine regulation of rat liver phenylalanine hydroxylase was studied. We show that phenylalanine "activates" phenylalanine hydroxylase, converting it from an inactive to active form, by binding at a true allosteric regulatory site. One phenylalanine molecule binds per enzyme subunit; it remains at this site during catalytic turnover and, while there, cannot be hydroxylat...
متن کاملRegulation of Rat Liver Phenylalanine Hydroxylase
Effects of phenylalanine and diand tetrahydropterins on presteady-state and steady-state catalytic behavior of rat liver phenylalanine hydroxylase are analyzed. From this and previous work (Shiman, R, Xia, T., Hill, M., and Gray, D. (1994) J. BioZ. Chem. 269, 2464724656), which analyzed binding of the same compounds to the enzyme in the absence of catalysis, a model of phenylalanine hydroxylase...
متن کاملCharacterization of phenylalanine hydroxylase.
Iron can be bound to phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) in two environments. The assignment of the electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum of PAH to two, overlapping high-spin ferric signals is confirmed by computer simulation. Both environments are shown to be populated in the crude enzyme. Reconstitution of the apoenzyme demonstrated that the two iron environments are not interconvertible. Oxyg...
متن کاملMouse phenylalanine hydroxylase. Homology and divergence from human phenylalanine hydroxylase.
The laboratory mouse represents an important model for the study of phenylalanine metabolism and the pathochemistry of phenylketonuria, yet mouse phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) has not been extensively studied. We report the cloning and sequencing of a mouse PAH cDNA, the expression of enzymic activity from the mouse PAH cDNA clone and the identification of mouse PAH and human PAH by two-dimen...
متن کاملPhenylalanine hydroxylase: metabolic aspects.
Phenylalanine hydroxylase [L-phenylalanine,tetrahydropteridine :oxygen oxidoreductase (4-hydroxylating); EC 1.14.16.11 catalyses the first reaction in the irreversible catabolism of the essential amino acid phenylalanine. Studies of the isolated enzyme and of phenylalanine metabolism in viuo and in oitro support the view that the hydroxylase plays the major role in regulating phenylalanine disp...
