Function

Hydroxylases are enzymes which add an hydroxyl group to organic compounds. This addition is the first step of aerobic oxidative degradation.

Aromatic amino acid hydroxylases consists of phenylalanine hydroxylase, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH). These enzymes all contain iron and use BH4 as a co-substrate in the hydroxylation of their respective aromatic amino acids. Additionally all mammalian AAAH form homotetramers and each monomer consists of three domains. These domains are the N-terminal regulatory domain (100-150 residues), the catalytic domain (approximately 315 residues) and the C-terminal tetramerization domain (approximately 30-40 residues)[1].

Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) is found in the liver where it catalyses the hydroxylation of phenylalanine to tyrosine. This is the first step in the oxidative degradation of phenylalanine[2]. Mutations in PAH leading to a decrease in enzyme activity result in the disease phenylketonuria, where phenylalanine is converted to phenylpyruvate. Phenylpyruvate is toxic and leads to mental retardation. PAH is also found in some bacteria, but only PAH from the bacteria Chromobacterium violaceum[3] and Colwellia psychrerythraea[4] have been characterized. The bacterial PAHs are monomeric and do not contain a regulatory domain. All the aromatic amino acid hydroxylases are believed to have evolved from common ancestor containing only the catalytic domain[5].
