Characterization of sepiapterin reductase activity from Drosophila melanogaster.

Comparative biochemistry and physiology. Part B, Biochemistry & molecular biology - 1 Jan 1996

Ruiz-Vázquez P, Silva F J, Ferré J

Abstract excerpt

A kinetic study of Drosophila melanogaster sepiapterin reductase has been done. The apparent Km for sepiapterin has been estimated as 153 microM. N-acetyldopamine, N-acetylserotonin, and N-methoxyacetylserotonin have shown to be noncompetitive inhibitors for the Drosophila sepiapterin reductase. The Ki obtained were 40 microM, 127 microM and 87 microM, respectively. Chromatofocusing of Drosophila crude extracts...
