| Abstract | Recombinant rat PC12 tyrosine hydroxylase, also called tyrosine 3-monooxygenase [L-tyrosine, tetrahydropteridine:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating), EC 1.14.16.2], purified from Escherichia coli is in an activated form with a low Km for the tetrahydrobiopterin cofactor and a pH optimum of 6.5. Pretreatment with low levels of the derived product, dopamine, inhibits catalytic activity, increases the Km for the cofactor, and shifts the pH curve towards a more acidic pH optimum. Labeled dopamine binds to tyrosine hydroxylase with high affinity (Kd = 1 microM) but low stoichiometry (r = 0.08 mol/mol of enzyme subunit). The binding of dopamine results in the appearance of a blue-green chromophore with lambda max at approximately 660 nm, which is consistent with the formation of a catecholamine-iron complex. In the absence of dopamine, the recombinant enzyme cannot be further activated by phosphorylation with cAMP-dependent protein kinase, although as much as 1 mol of phosphate is incorporated per mol of subunit. In contrast, the enzyme pretreated with dopamine is activated by phosphorylation in the same fashion and to the same extent as the native hydroxylase. The results suggest that the high-affinity binding of catecholamine products is a pivotal post-translational modification that determines the state of enzyme activation and the response to phosphorylation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
