General annotation (Comments)

Function

Involved in the synthesis of catecholamines, such as dopamine. Has a role in serotonin signaling. Required for normal explorative and foraging behavior. Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.7 Ref.8

Catalytic activity

L-tyrosine + tetrahydrobiopterin + O2 = 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine + 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin. Ref.1

Cofactor

Fe2+ ion.

Enzyme regulation

Inhibited by dopamine with an IC50 of 32.6 µM for the unphosphorylated form and 43.4 µM for the phosphorylated form. Ref.1

Pathway

Catecholamine biosynthesis; dopamine biosynthesis; dopamine from L-tyrosine: step 1/2.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in dopaminergic cells. Expressed in neurons in the head and middle body of the hermaphrodite, and six neurons in the tail of the male. Ref.3

Disruption phenotype

Reduced (30-40% of wild type) level of dopamine thought to be due to defects in dopamine synthesis. Defects in serotonin signaling. Affects mechanosensory behavior including foraging and exploration activity. Hypersensitivity to odorants. Blocks the enhanced slowing response phenotype caused by bilobalide, a neuroprotective plant chemical. No significant effect on lifespan. Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase family.
