Mismetallation reveals metal tolerance and enhanced stability of human deoxyhypusine hydroxylase.
Hypusination is a unique post-translational modification found exclusively in eukaryotic translation factor 5A (eIF5A). In this reaction, a specific lysine residue in eIF5A is converted into hypusine residue. The modification comprises two enzymatic steps: a NAD-dependent deoxyhypusine synthase (DHS) transfers the 4-am...
