Characterization and structure of the human lysine-2-oxoglutarate reductase domain, a novel therapeutic target for treatment of glutaric aciduria type 1
2022-05-20
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> In humans, a single enzyme 2-aminoadipic semialdehyde synthase (AASS) catalyzes the initial two critical reactions in the lysine degradation pathway. This enzyme evolved to be a bifunctional enzyme with both lysine 2-oxoglutarate reductase (LOR) and saccharopine dehydrogenase domains (SDH). Moreover, AASS is a unique drug target for metabolic genetic diseases such as glutaric aciduria type 1 tha...
