Triokinase/FMN cyclase (DAK)

The protein contains 575 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 58947 Da.

 

Catalyzes both the phosphorylation of dihydroxyacetone and of glyceraldehyde, and the splitting of ribonucleoside diphosphate-X compounds among which FAD is the best substrate. Represses IFIH1-mediated cellular antiviral response (PubMed:17600090). (updated: Nov. 22, 2017)

The reference OMIM entry for this protein is 615844

Dihydroxyacetone kinase 2, s. cerevisiae, homolog of; dak
Dha kinase/fmn cyclase

DESCRIPTION

DAK has bifunctional activity: it catalyzes the reaction flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) to riboflavin 4-prime,5-prime-phosphate (cyclic flavin mononucleotide, or cFMN), in addition to ATP-dependent phosphorylation of dihydroxyacetone (DHA) (Cabezas et al., 2005).

CLONING

By searching a database for sequences similar to purified rat liver FMN cyclase, followed by PCR of a brain cDNA library, Cabezas et al. (2005) cloned human DAK, which they called DHA kinase/FMN cyclase. The deduced protein contains 575 amino acids and shares 84 to 99% identity with its mammalian orthologs. It also has orthologs in several lower organisms. SDS-PAGE detected recombinant human DAK at an apparent molecular mass of 59.4 kD.

GENE FUNCTION

Cabezas et al. (2005) found that both recombinant human DAK and purified rat liver FMN cyclase catalyzed phosphorylation of DHA and formation of cFMN. In addition, each activity of human DAK was inhibited by the substrates of the other: ATP and dihydroxyacetone were strong and weak inhibitors of FMN cyclase activity, respectively, whereas FAD was a weak, but likely full, inhibitor of DHA kinase activity. Cabezas et al. (2005) observed that the 2 activities of DAK were related, but they reasoned that the active sites may not fully coincide, since DHA was only a partial inhibitor of FMN cyclase activity.

GENE STRUCTURE

Cabezas et al. (2005) determined that the DAK gene contains 17 exons.

MAPPING

By genomic sequence analysis, Cabezas et al. (2005) mapped the DAK gene to chromosome 11q12.2. ... More on the omim web site
