Studies on the specificity of unprocessed and mature forms of phytanoyl-CoA 2-hydroxylase and mutation of the iron binding ligands.
The mature form of phytanoyl-coenzyme A 2-hydroxylase (PAHX), a nonheme Fe(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenase, catalyzes the alpha-hydroxylation of phytanoyl-CoA within peroxisomes. Mutations in PAHX result in some forms of adult Refsum's disease. Unprocessed PAHX (pro-PAHX) contains a...
