Description:
A previously unknown redox cofactor has been identified in the active site of lysyl oxidase from the bovine aorta. Edman sequencing, mass spectrometry, ultraviolet-visible spectra, and resonance Raman studies showed that this cofactor is a quinone. Its structure is derived from the crosslinking of the epsilon-amino group of a peptidyl lysine with the modified side chain of a tyrosyl residue, and it has been designated lysine tyrosylquinone. This quinone appears to be the only example of a mammalian cofactor formed from the crosslinking of two amino acid side chains. This discovery expands the range of known quino-cofactor structures and has implications for the mechanism of their biogenesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wang, S X -- Mure, M -- Medzihradszky, K F -- Burlingame, A L -- Brown, D E -- Dooley, D M -- Smith, A J -- Kagan, H M -- Klinman, J P -- GM27659/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM39296/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P41 RR01614/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Aug 23;273(5278):1078-84.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8688089" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
