Deoxyhypusine synthase (DHS) and deoxyhypusine hydroxylase (DOHH) are essential for hypusination of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF-5A). In this issue, Han et al. use X-ray crystallograpy and UV/Vis and Mössbauer spectroscopy to provide insights into the fundamental mechanism of the hypusination of eIF-5A and a peroxo intermediate state.
脱羟鸟苷酸合成酶(DHS)和脱羟鸟苷酸羟化酶(DOHH)对于真核翻译起始因子 5A(eIF-5A)的脱羟鸟苷酸化是必不可少的。在本期杂志中,Han 等人利用 X 射线晶体学以及紫外/可见和穆斯堡尔光谱学,深入了解了 eIF-5A 脱羟鸟苷酸化的基本机制和过氧中间态。
