The deoxyhypusine hydroxylase (DOHH) enzyme also known as hDOHH catalyzes the final step in the post-translational synthesis of the unusual amino acid hypusine. DOHH modifies deoxyhypusine into hypusine by hydroxylation a reaction critical in activating the eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF5A). The human DOHH protein has a mass of approximately 36 kDa and is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues reflecting its general significance in protein processing.
Biological function summary
Proteins such as DOHH play important roles in cellular growth and proliferation. DOHH functions by converting inactive eIF5A precursors into their active form which can influence mRNA translation. This enzyme does not form part of a larger complex with other proteins but its activity is essential for the hypusine modification necessary to activate eIF5A directly influencing protein synthesis.
Pathways
DOHH operates in the hypusine biosynthesis pathway which is important for cell proliferation and differentiation. DOHH acts after the enzyme deoxyhypusine synthase (DHS) introduces a deoxyhypusine residue into eIF5A illustrating the close relationship between these two proteins in this cascade. The activation of eIF5A through hypusination impacts diverse pathways that regulate cell cycle progression and apoptosis.
DOHH activity has implications in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Altered expression or malfunction of DOHH can influence eIF5A activity affecting cell growth and survival and therefore contributing to oncogenesis. In neurodegenerative conditions abnormal hypusine synthesis may disrupt neuronal integrity and function. The linked protein eIF5A plays a role in these diseases demonstrating the broader impact of DOHH on health outcomes.
