The C-terminal of rat 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase is indispensable for enzyme activity

<p>We have cloned and overexpressed rat 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (4HPPD) in <em>Escherichia coli</em>. The soluble, active recombinant enzyme was shown to contain both 4HPPD and α-ketoisocaproate dioxygenase (αKICD) activity. However, upon truncation of the 14 amino acid...
