Summary
ALAS1 (5’-aminolevulinate synthase 1, HGNC:396) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3p21.2, encoding 5-aminolevulinate synthase, non-specific, mitochondrial (P13196). Catalyzes the pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP)-dependent condensation of succinyl-CoA and glycine to form aminolevulinic acid (ALA), with CoA and CO2 as by-products.
This gene encodes the mitochondrial enzyme which is catalyzes the rate-limiting step in heme (iron-protoporphyrin) biosynthesis. The enzyme encoded by this gene is the housekeeping enzyme; a separate gene encodes a form of the enzyme that is specific for erythroid tissue. The level of the mature encoded protein is regulated by heme: high levels of heme down-regulate the mature enzyme in mitochondria while low heme levels up-regulate. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 12. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Function. Catalyzes the pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP)-dependent condensation of succinyl-CoA and glycine to form aminolevulinic acid (ALA), with CoA and CO2 as by-products.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Interacts (hydroxylated form) with VHL.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion inner membrane.
Post-translational modifications. In normoxia, is hydroxylated at Pro-576, promoting interaction with VHL, initiating ubiquitination and subsequent degradation via the proteasome. Ubiquitinated; in normoxia following hydroxylation and interaction with VHL, leading to its subsequent degradation via the proteasome.
Activity regulation. Activity increases about 2-fold over 72 hours of hypoxia compared with normoxia. Activity increases in the presence of phenobarbital, chenodeoxycholic and NR1H4/FXR-specific agonist GW4064.
Induction. Up-regulated by bile acids; chenodeoxycholic acid, ursodeoxycholic acid and lithocholic acid and by the NR1H4/FXR-specific agonist GW4064.
Pathway. Porphyrin-containing compound metabolism; protoporphyrin-IX biosynthesis; 5-aminolevulinate from glycine: step 1/1.
Similarity. Belongs to the class-II pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
