Function

Deoxyhypusine synthase (DHS) catalyzes the biosynthesis of deoxyhypusine by transfer of 4-aminobutyl moiety of spermidine to a specific Lys residue of initiation factor 4D[1]. Hypusine is formed post-translationally and is found in translation initiation factor 5A (elf5A).

Disease

Mutations in DHS result in reduced enzyme activity that limits the hypusination of elf5A which is associated with neurodevelopmental disorder[2].

Relevance

Inhibition of DHS may provide a strategy for reducing diabetogenic cells and preserving β cell function in type 1 diabetes[3].

Structural highlights

The hydrophobic groove of the FERM domain of Rdx binds the N-terminal peptide of the adhesion molecule P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 with multiple hydrogen bonds[4]. Hydrophobic, Polar
