Description

Deoxyhypusine is a unique amino acid found in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A). It is synthesized in a two-step enzymatic process. First, the lysine residue in the eIF5A precursor is modified to hypusine by the enzyme deoxyhypusine synthase. Then, deoxyhypusine synthase removes the N-terminal formyl group from hypusine to form deoxyhypusine. Deoxyhypusine plays a crucial role in the translation of mRNA, particularly in the elongation phase. It is essential for the proper functioning of eIF5A, which is involved in the translation of mRNA containing polyproline stretches. Deoxyhypusine is studied because it is a unique and essential post-translational modification that is crucial for cell growth and proliferation. Understanding its role in translation and cellular processes may provide insights into the development of new therapeutic targets for cancer and other diseases.'
