Summary

TAT (tyrosine aminotransferase, HGNC:11573) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16q22.2, encoding Tyrosine aminotransferase (P17735). Transaminase involved in tyrosine breakdown.

This nuclear gene encodes a mitochondrial protein tyrosine aminotransferase which is present in the liver and catalyzes the conversion of L-tyrosine into p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate. Mutations in this gene cause tyrosinemia (type II, Richner-Hanhart syndrome), a disorder accompanied by major skin and corneal lesions, with possible cognitive disability. A regulator gene for tyrosine aminotransferase is X-linked.

  • two novel missense mutations were identified - (C151Y) and (L273P) within exon 5 and exon 8, respectively in tyrosinemia type II in three unrelated consanguinous Tunisian families (PMID:16574453)
  • a silent exonic transversion in TAT causes complete missplicing by exon 11 skipping in oculocutaneous tyrosinaemia type II (PMID:16917729)
  • Genetically modified adenoviral vector with the protein transduction domain of Tat improves gene transfer to CAR-deficient cells. (PMID:18721127)
  • a heterozygous insertion mutation (c.446_447insA; p.D149DfsX28) was found in exon 4 leading to a frameshift and finally resulting in a premature stop codon and a heterozygous missense mutation (c.658C>T; p.P220S) was identified in exon 5. (PMID:18945316)
  • tumor suppressive mechanism of TAT was associated with its proapoptotic role in a mitochondrial-dependent manner by promoting cytochrome-c release and activating caspase-9 and PARP. (PMID:20209601)
  • A paternal inherited frameshift mutation c.1213delCinsAG at codon 405 causing a premature stop codon, and a maternally inherited deletion of 193kb encompassing the complete TAT gene yield the first complete TAT deletion in tyrosinaemia type II described. (PMID:21636300)

  • Data analysis did not reveal a genotype-phenotype correlation, but stressed the need of early diagnosis: All patients improved the oculocutaneous lesions after dietary treatment but neurological symptoms prevailed. The discovery of founder mutations in isolated populations, and the benefits of early intervention, should increase diagnostic awareness in newborns. (PMID:28255985)

Alternative names: L-tyrosine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase

All UniProt accessions (2): P17735, A0A140VKB7

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Transaminase involved in tyrosine breakdown. Converts tyrosine to p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate. Can catalyze the reverse reaction, using glutamic acid, with 2-oxoglutarate as cosubstrate (in vitro). Has much lower affinity and transaminase activity towards phenylalanine.

Subunit / interactions. Homodimer.

Disease relevance. Tyrosinemia 2 (TYRSN2) [MIM:276600] An inborn error of metabolism characterized by elevations of tyrosine in the blood and urine, and oculocutaneous manifestations. Typical features include palmoplantar keratosis, painful corneal ulcers, and intellectual disability. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Pathway. Amino-acid degradation; L-phenylalanine degradation; acetoacetate and fumarate from L-phenylalanine: step 2/6.

Similarity. Belongs to the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
