Description

Hypusine is a unique amino acid found in eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF5A), a protein essential for translation elongation and cell growth. It is synthesized through a two-step enzymatic process, starting with the post-translational modification of lysine residue 50 in eIF5A by deoxyhypusine synthase (DHS). This process converts lysine to deoxyhypusine, which is then further modified to hypusine by deoxyhypusine hydroxylase (DOHH). Hypusine is essential for the function of eIF5A, and its deficiency leads to impaired cell growth and development. Research suggests that hypusine plays a role in various cellular processes, including protein synthesis, DNA replication, and cell cycle progression. It has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The study of hypusine is crucial to understand its role in cellular function, its potential as a therapeutic target, and its involvement in disease development.'
