    • Characterization of the PLP-dependent decarboxylases GADL1 and CSAD 

      Mahootchi, Elaheh (Doctoral thesis, 2022-03-31)
      Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP) -dependent enzymes constitute an essential superfamily of enzymes for all living organisms. Due to the chemistry of their cofactor, PLP, these enzymes catalyze a wide variety of reactions. ...

    • GADL1 is a multifunctional decarboxylase with tissue-specific roles in β-alanine and carnosine production 

      Mahootchi, Elaheh; Homaei, Selina Cannon; Kleppe, Rune; Winge, Ingeborg; Hegvik, Tor-Arne; Perez, Roberto Megias; Totland, Christian; Mogavero, Floriana; Baumann, Anne; Glennon, Jeffrey Colm; Miletic, Hrvoje; Kursula, Petri; Haavik, Jan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Carnosine and related β-alanine–containing peptides are believed to be important antioxidants, pH buffers, and neuromodulators. However, their biosynthetic routes and therapeutic potential are still being debated. This ...

    • Mammalian CSAD and GADL1 have distinct biochemical properties and patterns of brain expression 

      Winge, Ingeborg; Teigen, Knut; Fossbakk, Agnete; Mahootchi, Elaheh; Kleppe, Rune; Sköldberg, Filip; Kämpe, Olle; Haavik, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11)
      Variants in the gene encoding the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase like 1 (GADL1) have been associated with response to lithium therapy. Both GADL1 and the related enzyme cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD) have ...

    • Structure and substrate specificity determinants of the taurine biosynthetic enzyme cysteine sulphinic acid decarboxylase 

      Mahootchi, Elaheh; Raasakk, Arne; Luan, Weisha; Muruganandam, Gopinath; Loris, Remy; Haavik, Jan; Kursula, Petri (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Pyridoxal 5́-phosphate (PLP) is an important cofactor for amino acid decarboxylases with many biological functions, including the synthesis of signalling molecules, such as serotonin, dopamine, histamine, γ-aminobutyric ...

    • Structure of the mouse acidic amino acid decarboxylase GADL1 

      Raasakka, Arne; Mahootchi, Elaheh; Winge, Ingeborg; Luan, Weisha; Kursula, Petri; Haavik, Jan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) is a ubiquitous cofactor in various enzyme classes, including PLP-dependent decarboxylases. A recently discovered member of this class is glutamic acid decarboxylase-like protein 1 (GADL1), ...
