Regulation of tyrosine hydroxylase by stress‐activated protein kinases

Recombinant human tyrosine hydroxylase (hTH1) was found to be phosphorylated by mitogen and stress‐activated protein kinase 1 (MSK1) at Ser40 and by p38 regulated/activated kinase (PRAK) on Ser19. Phosphorylation by MSK1 induced an increase in Vmax and a decrease in Km for 6‐(R)‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydrobi...

Description
Summary:Recombinant human tyrosine hydroxylase (hTH1) was found to be phosphorylated by mitogen and stress‐activated protein kinase 1 (MSK1) at Ser40 and by p38 regulated/activated kinase (PRAK) on Ser19. Phosphorylation by MSK1 induced an increase in Vmax and a decrease in Km for 6‐(R)‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), while these kinetic parameters were unaffected as a result of phosphorylation by PRAK. Phosphorylation of both Ser40 and Ser19 induced a high‐affinity binding of 14‐3‐3 proteins, but only the interaction of 14‐3‐3 with Ser19 increased the hTH1 activity. The 14‐3‐3 proteins also inhibited the rate of dephosphorylation of Ser19 and Ser40 by 82 and 36%, respectively. The phosphorylation of hTH1 on Ser19 caused a threefold increase in the rate of phosphorylation of Ser40. These studies provide new insights into the possible roles of stress‐activated protein kinases in the regulation of catecholamine biosynthesis.
