GTP cyclohydrolase drives breast cancer development and promotes EMT in an enzyme-independent manner.

Cancer Research, 2023
GTP cyclohydrolase (GCH1) is the rate-limiting enzyme for tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) biosynthesis. The catalysis of BH4 biosynthesis is tightly regulated for physiological neurotransmission, inflammation, and vascular tone.

Ionizing radiation induces BH4 deficiency by downregulating GTP-cyclohydrolase 1, a novel target for preventing and treating radiation enteritis.

Biochemical Pharmacology, 2020
Radiation enteritis (RE) is a common side effect after radiotherapy for abdominal cancer. RE pathogenesis is complicated, with no drugs available for prevention or treatments.

Larval but not adult xanthophore pigmentation in zebrafish requires GTP cyclohydrolase 2 (gch2) function

Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research, 2019
Although xanthophores are found widely among poikilothermic species, the developmental and biochemical pathways underlying differentiation of these pteridine‐ and carotenoid‐containing cells remain murky.

GTP Cyclohydrolase I Feedback Regulatory Protein-Dependent and -Independent Inhibitors of GTP Cyclohydrolase I

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2001
GTP cyclohydrolase I feedback regulatory protein (GFRP) mediates the feedback inhibition of GTP cyclohydrolase I activity by (6R)-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) through protein complex formation. Since guanine and BH4 have a common pyrimidine ring structure, we examined the inhibitory effect of guanine and its analogs on the enzyme ...

Zinc supplementation protects against diabetic endothelial dysfunction via GTP cyclohydrolase 1 restoration.

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications - BBRC, 2019
This study explored whether zinc supplementation alleviates diabetic endothelial dysfunction and the possible mechanisms underlying. We found that high glucose exposure significantly increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decreased guanosine 5 ...

Inhibition of GTP cyclohydrolase I by pterins

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1988
Pterins inhibit rat liver GTP cyclohydrolase I activity noncompetitively. Reduced pterins, such as 7,8-dihydro-D-neopterin, (6R,S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-D-neopterin, 7,8-dihydro-L-biopterin, (6R)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-L-biopterin, L-sepiapterin, and DL-6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin are approximately 12-times more potent as inhibitors than are oxidized ...

Cigarette smoke constituents cause endothelial nitric oxide synthase dysfunction and uncoupling due to depletion of tetrahydrobiopterin with degradation of GTP cyclohydrolase.

Nitric oxide, 2018
Cigarette smoking (CS) is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Endothelial dysfunction (ED) with loss of nitric oxide (NO) production is a central mechanism leading to the advent of CVD.

GTP-cyclohydrolases: a review.

Journal of clinical chemistry and clinical biochemistry. Zeitschrift fur klinische Chemie und klinische Biochemie, 1985
The occurrence, properties and functions of GTP-cyclohydrolases in mammalian and non-mammalian systems is reviewed. GTP-cyclohydrolases catalyse the removal of C-8 atom from GTP as formic acid. GTP-cyclohydrolase I (EC 3.5.4.16) converts GTP into D-erythro-7, 8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate, whereas GTP-cyclohydrolase II forms 2,5-diamino-4-oxo-6-(5 ...

Multiple mRNA forms of human GTP cyclohydrolase I

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1992
To isolate full length cDNA clones encoding human GTP cyclohydrolase I, the first and rate-limiting enzyme in tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthesis, a cDNA library generated from human liver was screened by plaque hybridization. Analysis of the clones, hybridized with rat cDNA fragment, by restriction mapping and partial sequencing showed the existence of ...
