Also known as DYT5b
Summary
TH (tyrosine hydroxylase, HGNC:11782) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11p15.5, encoding Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase (P07101). Catalyzes the conversion of L-tyrosine to L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-Dopa), the rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of catecholamines, dopamine, noradrenaline, and adrenaline.
The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the conversion of tyrosine to dopamine. It is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of catecholamines, hence plays a key role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive Segawa syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.

Function. Catalyzes the conversion of L-tyrosine to L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-Dopa), the rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of catecholamines, dopamine, noradrenaline, and adrenaline. Uses tetrahydrobiopterin and molecular oxygen to convert tyrosine to L-Dopa (PubMed:15287903, PubMed:1680128, PubMed:17391063, PubMed:24753243, PubMed:34922205, PubMed:8528210, Ref.18). In addition to tyrosine, is able to catalyze the hydroxylation of phenylalanine and tryptophan with lower specificity. Positively regulates the regression of retinal hyaloid vessels during postnatal development. Lacks catalytic activity. Lacks catalytic activity.
Subunit / interactions. Homotetramer (PubMed:24947669, Ref.18). Interacts (when phosphorylated at Ser-19) with YWHAG; one YWHAG dimer binds to one TH tetramer and this interaction may influence the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of other sites. Interacts with NT5DC2; the interaction results in reduced phosphorylation and decreased catalytic activity of TH.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Perinuclear region. Nucleus. Cell projection. Axon. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Secretory vesicle. Synaptic vesicle.
Tissue specificity. Mainly expressed in the brain and adrenal glands.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated on Ser-19, Ser-62 and Ser-71 by several protein kinases with different site specificities. Phosphorylation at Ser-62 and Ser-71 leads to an increase of TH activity. Phosphorylation at Ser-71 activates the enzyme and also counteracts the feedback inhibition of TH by catecholamines. Phosphorylation of Ser-19 and Ser-62 triggers the proteasomal degradation of TH through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Phosphorylation at Ser-62 facilitates transport of TH from the soma to the nerve terminals via the microtubule network. Phosphorylation at Ser-19 induces the high-affinity binding to the 14-3-3 protein YWHAG; this interaction may influence the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of other sites. Ser-19 increases the phosphorylation at Ser-71 in a hierarchical manner, leading to increased activity.
Disease relevance. Segawa syndrome autosomal recessive (ARSEGS) [MIM:605407] A form of DOPA-responsive dystonia presenting in infancy or early childhood. Dystonia is defined by the presence of sustained involuntary muscle contractions, often leading to abnormal postures. Some cases present with parkinsonian symptoms in infancy. Unlike all other forms of dystonia, it is an eminently treatable condition, due to a favorable response to L-DOPA. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. May play a role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease (PD). A genome-wide copy number variation analysis has identified a 34 kilobase deletion over the TH gene in a PD patient but not in any controls.
Activity regulation. Inhibited in feedback fashion by the catecholamine neurotransmitters, especially by dopamine in competition with tetrahydrobiopterin. Phosphorylation of several Ser/Thr residues in the N-terminus regulates the catalytic activity. Ser-62 and Ser-71 are readily phosphorylated to activate the catalytic activity. A Cysteine modification induced by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), inhibits tyrosine 3-monooxygenase activity through the modification of the Cys-207.
Pathway. Catecholamine biosynthesis; dopamine biosynthesis; dopamine from L-tyrosine: step 1/2.
Similarity. Belongs to the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase family.
