## Summary

**IDO2** (indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 2, HGNC:27269) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8p11.21, encoding **Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 2** (Q6ZQW0). Catalyzes the first and rate limiting step of the catabolism of the essential amino acid tryptophan along the kynurenine pathway.

Along with the enzymes encoded by the INDO (MIM 147435) and TDO2 (MIM 191070) genes, the enzyme encoded by the INDOL1 gene metabolizes tryptophan in the kynurenine pathway (Ball et al., 2007 [PubMed 17499941]).

### Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 37)

- This article describes the evolutionary relationships between the INDO and INDOL1 genes. The INDOL1 protein has a distinct expression pattern compared to INDO and both have the ability to catabolise tryptophan. (PMID:17499941)
- IDO2 encodes a novel IDO-related tryptophan catabolic enzyme that is preferentially inhibited by D-1-methyl-tryptophan (D-1MT).  IDO2 may have a distinct role in immune tolerance. Two common human genetic polymorphisms ablate IDO2 enzyme activity. (PMID:17671174)
- First study to report IDO2 expression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma indicating that IDO2 genetic polymorphisms do not negate interferon-gamma-inducible protein expression. (PMID:19476837)
- High activity of indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase enzyme predicts disease severity and case fatality in bacteremic patients. (PMID:19487973)
- The pro-apoptotic activity of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase is responsible for its transcriptional regulation and the modulation of its pro-apoptotic activity during death receptor activation in melanoma cells. (PMID:19799997)
- Tryptophan supplementation was able to completely restore hepatitis b virus replication in IFN-gamma- but not IFN-alpha-treated cells, which strongly argues that IDO is the primary mediator of IFN-gamma-elicited antiviral response in human hepatocytes. (PMID:21084489)
- Data show that IDO2-specific T cells are cytotoxic effector cells that recognize and kill tumor cells. (PMID:21406395)
- Purification and kinetic characterization of human indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenases 1 and 2 (IDO1 and IDO2) and discovery of selective IDO1 inhibitors. (PMID:21835273)
- Indoleamine2,3-dioxygenase and tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase may play critical roles in the immune pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease. (PMID:23651343)
- The IDO2 is now known to catalyze the first and rate-limiting step in the catabolism of tryptophan along a relative newcomer to the kynurenine pathway field. (PMID:24105077)
- IDO2 is expressed in both mDCs and plasmacytoid DCs and is not modulated by PGE2. IDO2 expression is constitutively, stably expressed in steady-state conditions and may contribute to the homeostatic tolerogenic capacity of DCs. (PMID:24391212)
- Multiple-scattering (MS) analysis of EXAFS data on met-indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-2 (IDO2) and analysis of XANES have provided the first direct structural information about the axial donor ligands of the iron center for this recently discovered protein. (PMID:24858687)
- Human indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-2 has substrate specificity and inhibition characteristics distinct from those of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (PMID:24875753)
- These results demonstrate that IDO2 plays a novel role as a negative regulator of IDO1 by competing for heme-binding with IDO1. (PMID:25394548)

## Protein

### Protein identifiers

**Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 2** — `Q6ZQW0` (reviewed: Q6ZQW0)

**Alternative names:** Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-like protein 1, Indoleamine-pyrrole 2,3-dioxygenase-like protein 1

**All UniProt accessions (1):** `Q6ZQW0`

#### UniProt curated annotations — [full annotation on UniProt →](https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/Q6ZQW0/entry)

**Function.** Catalyzes the first and rate limiting step of the catabolism of the essential amino acid tryptophan along the kynurenine pathway. Involved in immune regulation. May not play a significant role in tryptophan-related tumoral resistance.

**Tissue specificity.** Detected in liver, small intestine, spleen, placenta, thymus, lung, brain, kidney, and colon. Also expressed at low level in testis and thyroid. Not expressed in the majority of human tumor samples (>99%).

**Activity regulation.** Activity is inhibited by D-1MT (1-methyl-D-tryptophan) and MTH-trp (methylthiohydantoin-DL-tryptophan) but not L-1MT (1-methyl-L-tryptophan).

**Cofactor.** Binds 1 heme group per subunit.

**Pathway.** Amino-acid degradation; L-tryptophan degradation via kynurenine pathway; L-kynurenine from L-tryptophan: step 1/2.

**Polymorphism.** The variant Trp-248 (p.R248W) drastically reduces the enzymatic activity. The Del359-420 variant (p.Y359X) generates a truncated, enzymatically inactive protein. The high prevalence of these polymorphic alleles results in a non-functional IDO2 enzyme in up to 50% of Caucasians.

**Miscellaneous.** IDO1 and IDO2 are 2 distinct enzymes which catalyze the same reaction. IDO2 affinity for tryptophan is much lower than that of IDO1. 50 % of Caucasians harbor polymorphisms which abolish IDO2 enzymatic activity. IDO2 is expressed in human tumors in an inactive form: tryptophan degradation is entirely provided by IDO1 in these cells. IDO2 may play a role as a negative regulator of IDO1 by competing for heme-binding with IDO1. Low efficiency IDO2 enzymes have been conserved throughout vertebrate evolution, whereas higher efficiency IDO1 enzymes are dispensable in many lower vertebrate lineages. IDO1 may have arisen by gene duplication of a more ancient proto-IDO gene before the divergence of marsupial and eutherian (placental) mammals.

**Similarity.** Belongs to the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase family.
