Abstract excerpt
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), which converts L-tyrosine to L-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, is a rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of catecholamines; its activity is regulated by the feedback inhibition of the catecholamine products including dopamine. To rationalize the significant role of the N-terminal sequence Arg(37)-Arg(38) of human TH type 1 (hTH1) in determining the efficiency of feedback inhibition, we...
