histone dopaminyltransferase activity

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

Catalysis of the reaction: dopamine + L-glutaminyl-[histone] = 5-dopaminyl-L-glutamyl-[histone] + NH4(+). [GOC:sp, PMID:32273471]

Histone dopaminyltransferase activity refers to the enzymatic activity that catalyzes the transfer of dopamine from a donor molecule to a histone protein. Histones are basic proteins that associate with DNA to form nucleosomes, the fundamental building blocks of chromatin.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including movement, motivation, and reward. The transfer of dopamine to histone proteins can modify the structure and function of chromatin, potentially influencing gene expression and cellular signaling.

The exact mechanism of histone dopaminyltransferase activity is not fully understood, but it is likely that the enzyme interacts with both dopamine and histone proteins, facilitating the transfer of the neurotransmitter to specific lysine residues within the histone tail.

The functional significance of histone dopaminyltransferase activity is still under investigation, but it is hypothesized to play a role in the regulation of neuronal plasticity, stress responses, and addiction.

Studies have shown that dopamine-modified histones can influence the expression of genes involved in neuronal function and behavior, suggesting a potential link between histone dopaminyltransferase activity and neuropsychiatric disorders.'
