metabolism | deoxyhypusine synthase catalyzes a step in hypusine sythesis, a unique mmoified lysine derivative of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A, eIF5A | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A, eIF5A, is a small acidic protein and the only cellular protein that contains the unique modified lysine, hypusine [N1-(4-amino-2-hydroxybutyl)lysine]. Hypusine is formed by the post-translational modification of one specific lysine residue of the eIF5A precursor, eIF5A(Lys), in two consecutive enzymatic steps. The first enzyme, deoxyhypusine synthase, DHS, catalyzes the transfer of the aminobutyl moiety from the polyamine spermidine to form an intermediate, deoxyhypusine [N1-(4-aminobutyl)lysine] residue, which is subsequently hydroxylated by deoxyhypusine hydroxylase | Homo sapiens |
