DOHH belongs to a family of HEAT-like repeat proteins which comprise the Huntingtin protein, elongation factor 3, the protein phosphatase subunit 2A, and the target of rapamycin
the enzyme catalyzes the maturation of eukaryotic initiation factor 5A, synthesis of hypusine is essential for the function of eIF5A in eukaryotic cell proliferation and survival
the enzyme catalyzes the maturation of eukaryotic initiation factor 5A, synthesis of hypusine is essential for the function of eIF5A in eukaryotic cell proliferation and survival
biosynthesis of hypusine occurs in two consecutive steps. In the first step, deoxyhypusine synthase transfers the 4-aminobutyl moiety to a specific lysine residue in eIF5A, while in the second step of hypusine biosynthesis, deoxyhypusine hydroxylase completes this posttranslational modification by hydroxylation
hypusine is synthesized exclusively in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A, eIF5A, by two sequential enzymatic steps involving deoxyhypusine synthase, DHS, and deoxyhypusine hydroxylase, DOHH. The polyamine spermidine has an independent and specific function as the source of the 4-aminobutyl portion of hypusine, N6-(4-amino-2-hydroxybutyl)-lysine, in the essential cellular protein eIF5A
deoxyhypusine hydroxylase completes the modification of eukaryotic initiation factor 5A, eIF5A, through hydroxylation. Hypusination in eIF5A is a unique posttranslational modification. Hypusine-containing eIF5A promotes translation elongation
site-directed mutagenesis, the substitution located at one of the four conserved His-Glu pairs, the potential metal coordination sites, results in severe reduction of deoxyhypusine hydroxylase activity compared to the wild-type enzyme
a deletion at the HEAT-repeats 1-3, potential metal coordination sites, results in complete losses of deoxyhypusine hydroxylase activity, the different clones encoding the enzyme show differing activity, overview
