Bovine adrenal tyrosine hydroxylase: purification and properties

R. Hoeldtke and S. Kaufman

Bovine adrenal tyrosine hydroxylase has been obtained in a form that is 85 to 90% pure. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis and density gradient centrifugation studies have established that the subunit molecular weight of the chymotrypsin-solubilized enzyme is 34,000. The presence of iron in the purified enzyme (0.50 to 0.75 mol of iron/mol of enzyme) has been established. Crude particulate tyrosine hydroxylase can be activated by the phospholipid, phosphatidyl-L-serine, or by exposure to enzymatic phosphorylating conditions. Both forms of activation lower the Km of the enzyme for its 2-amino-4-hydroxypteridine cofactor. By contrast, tyrosine hydroxylase that has been solubilized by chymotrypsin cannot be activated by either of these methods.
