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.

Tyrosine-protein kinase SYK

Tyrosine-protein kinase SYK (spleen tyrosine kinase), a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase with tandem SH2 domains, initiates B cell receptor signaling; autoinhibited until ITAM binding and phosphorylation, distinct from ZAP70, targeted by inhibitors.

Tyrosine-protein phosphatase 1

Tyrosine-protein phosphatase 1 (Ptp1, PTP1/YDL230W) is a 335-aa protein tyrosine phosphatase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, EC 3.1.3.48, nonessential, that dephosphorylates Cdk1-Y19 redundantly with Mih1 and PP2A-Rts1 and is dispensable for MAPK regulation.

Tyrosine—tRNA ligase

Tyrosine—tRNA ligase (tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase, TyrRS, YARS1) is the class I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase that charges tRNA-Tyr with tyrosine; a functional dimer with class II-like tRNA binding, linked to dominant peripheral neuropathy.

Tyrosinemia type 1

Tyrosinemia type 1 (HT-1, hepatorenal tyrosinemia) is an autosomal recessive FAH-deficiency disorder causing liver and kidney damage, neurologic crises, and HCC risk; treated with nitisinone and a low-tyrosine diet.

Tyrosinemia type 2

Tyrosinemia type 2 (Richner-Hanhart syndrome, oculocutaneous tyrosinemia) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by TAT gene deficiency at 16q22.2, causing corneal dystrophy, painful palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, and intellectual disability in about half of cases, treated with a tyrosine- and phenylalanine-restricted diet.

Tyrosinemia type 3

Tyrosinemia type 3 is a rare inherited disorder of tyrosine metabolism caused by HPD enzyme deficiency, marked by high blood tyrosine and, in some cases, intellectual disability and seizures.

Tyrosol

Tyrosol, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)phenol, is a phenolic alcohol found in virgin olive oil and wine, produced by yeast during fermentation, and also made in the human body as a byproduct of tyramine metabolism.

Tyrothricin

Tyrothricin, a peptide antibiotic complex from Brevibacillus parabrevis discovered by René Dubos in 1939, mixes tyrocidines and gramicidins; first mass-produced antibiotic, topical use only due to hemolytic toxicity.

TYRP1

TYRP1, also known as TRP-1, is a human protein-coding gene on chromosome 9p23 that acts in the melanin pathway of pigment-producing cells; mutations cause albinism type 3.

Tyrrell Hatton

Tyrrell Hatton (born 1991, High Wycombe) is an English golfer with 8 DP World Tour wins, the 2020 Arnold Palmer Invitational, LIV Golf wins for Legion XIII, and four Ryder Cup appearances for Europe.

Tyrrell P34

Tyrrell P34 (Project 34), the six-wheeler: Derek Gardner's 1976-77 Formula One car with four 10-inch front wheels. Won the 1976 Swedish GP with Jody Scheckter; the only six-wheeled F1 car to race and win.

Tyrrell Racing

Tyrrell Racing Organisation, Ken Tyrrell's British F1 team (1968-1998), won three Stewart drivers' titles, the 1971 constructors' title, 33 GPs, and raced the six-wheeled P34; sold to BAR, now Mercedes' lineage.

Tyrrhena Dorsa

Tyrrhena Dorsa is an IAU-approved ridge system (dorsa) on Mars in the Mare Tyrrhenum quadrangle, about 763-779 km across near Tyrrhena Patera and Hesperia Planum; named in 1991 from a classical albedo feature.
