Description Imported from IPR027517
Deoxyhypusine hydroxylase (
1.14.99.29) catalyses the hydroxylation of the N(6)-(4-aminobutyl)-L-lysine intermediate to form hypusine, an essential post-translational modification only found in mature eIF-5A factor
[2]. In Drosophila melanogaster, it is essential for organismal viability and plays a role in a wide number of important processes such as cell growth and proliferation, and regulates induction of autophagy and protein synthesis
[1].
