Zusammenfassung: |
A recently described new form of hyperphenylalaninemia is characterized by the excretion of 7-substituted isomers of biopterin and neopterin and 7-oxo-biopterin in the urine of patients. It has been shown that the 7-substituted isomers of biopterin and neopterin derive from L-tetrahydrobiopterin and D-tetrahydroneopterin and are formed during hydroxylation of phenylalanine to tyrosine with rat liver dehydratase-free phenylalanine hydroxylase.
We have now obtained identical results using human phenylalanine hydroxylase. The identity of the pterin formed in vitro and derived from L-tetrahydrobiopterin as 7-(1',2'-dihydroxypropyl)pterin was proven by gas-chromatography mass spectrometry. Tetrahydroneopterin and 6-hydroxymethyltetrahydropterin also are converted to their corresponding 7-substituted isomers and serve as cofactors in the phenylalanine hydroxylase reaction. Dihydroneopterin is converted by dihydrofolate reductase to the tetrahydro form which is biologically active as a cofactor for the aromatic amino acid monooxygenases. The 6-substituted pterin to 7-substituted pterin conversion occurs in the absence of pterin-4a-carbinolamine dehydratase and is shown to be a nonenzymatic process. 7-Tetrahydrobiopterin is both a substrate (cofactor) and a competitive inhibitor with 6-tetrahydrobiopterin (Ki ≈ 8 μM) in the phenylalanine hydroxylase reaction. For the first time, the formation of 7-substituted pterins from their 6-substituted isomers has been demonstrated with tyrosine hydroxylase, another important mammalian enzyme which functions in the hydroxylation of phenylalanine and tyrosine. |
