Tyrosine

Tyrosine (Tyr, Y, 4-hydroxyphenylalanine, C9H11NO3) is a nonessential aromatic amino acid made from phenylalanine; discovered in casein by Liebig in 1846, it is the precursor of catecholamines, thyroid hormones, and melanin.

Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase-like, ACT domain

Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase-like, ACT domain (IPR049321): the ACT-domain fold in the N-terminal regulatory domain of tyrosine hydroxylase; a ferredoxin-like βαββαβ dimerizing regulatory module, allosteric in most homologs but non-allosteric in tyrosine hydroxylase.

Tyrosine aminotransferase

Tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT, EC 2.6.1.5, tyrosine transaminase) is a PLP-dependent liver cytosolic enzyme converting L-tyrosine plus 2-oxoglutarate to 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate and glutamate; deficiency causes tyrosinemia type II.

Tyrosine catabolism

Tyrosine catabolism: the five-step degradation of tyrosine via 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate, homogentisate, and fumarylacetoacetate to fumarate and acetoacetate; enzyme defects cause tyrosinemia and alkaptonuria.

Tyrosine hydroxylase

Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH, EC 1.14.16.2), a non-heme iron, BH4-dependent homotetrameric enzyme, catalyzes the rate-limiting conversion of L-tyrosine to L-DOPA in catecholamine biosynthesis; regulated by catecholamine feedback inhibition and Ser40 phosphorylation; its deficiency causes dopa-responsive dystonia and infantile parkinsonism.

Tyrosine kinase

Tyrosine kinase (protein-tyrosine kinase): enzyme transferring ATP gamma phosphate to protein tyrosine residues. 90 human genes (58 receptor, 32 non-receptor); SH2/PTB-docked signaling; imatinib-paradigm drug targets.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy

Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy is targeted drug treatment with small molecules that block the ATP-binding site of tyrosine kinases, stopping the signaling cancer cells use to grow and survive.

Tyrosine kinase oncogenes and fusion proteins

Tyrosine kinase oncogenes and fusion proteins are growth-signaling kinase genes locked on by retroviral capture or chromosomal fusion, driving cancers such as BCR-ABL-positive chronic myeloid leukemia, treatable with imatinib.

Tyrosine phenol-lyase

Tyrosine phenol-lyase (TPL, EC 4.1.99.2, beta-tyrosinase) is a PLP-dependent bacterial tetrameric lyase cleaving L-tyrosine to phenol, pyruvate, and ammonia, and catalyzing the industrial one-step biosynthesis of L-DOPA from pyrocatechol, pyruvate, and ammonia.

Tyrosine recombinase XerD-like

Tyrosine recombinase XerD-like proteins are the XerD branch of tyrosine site-specific recombinases, including XerD itself, XerH, XerS, and archaeal XerA, which resolve circular chromosome dimers at dif sites and are hijacked by mobile elements such as CTXφ.
