Pyridoxine 5'-phosphate oxidase catalyzes the terminal step in the synthesis of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. The cDNA for the human enzyme has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified human enzyme is a homodimer that exhibits a low catalytic rate constant of approximately 0.2 sec(-1) and K(m) values in the low micromolar range for both pyridoxine 5'phosphate and pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is an effective product inhibitor. The three-dimensional fold of the hu ...[more]
