Crystal structure of Homo sapiens kynureninase-3-hydroxyhippuric acid inhibitor complex
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 19143568
Disease
[KYNU_HUMAN] Note=Xanthurenic aciduria manifesting as massive urinary excretion of large amounts of kynurenine, 3-hydroxykynurenine and xanthurenic acid has been observed in an individual carrying a homozygous missense change in KYNU (PubMed:17334708). The urinary pattern in the patient suggests kynureninase deficiency and a block in the conversion of kynurenine and 3-hydroxykynurenine to anthranilate and 3-hydroxyanthranilate, respectively.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_03017]
Function
[KYNU_HUMAN] Catalyzes the cleavage of L-kynurenine (L-Kyn) and L-3-hydroxykynurenine (L-3OHKyn) into anthranilic acid (AA) and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (3-OHAA), respectively. Has a preference for the L-3-hydroxy form. Also has cysteine-conjugate-beta-lyase activity.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_03017]
