The protein Ornithinine Aminotransferase (OAT), in humans (hOAT), is an enzyme that catalyzes the reaction between carbamoyl phosphate and orthinine to form citrulline and phosphate. Its ligand is pyridoxal-5'phosphate (PLP) which is a cofactor of the reaction. An amino group from L-Orn is transferred to PLP which turns it into pyridoxine phosphate (PMP) and L-Orn is converted to L glutamate-y-semialdehyde. PLP is regenerated when the amino group PMP is transferred to alpha-KG. It has 3 ligands pyridoxal-5' phosphate (PLP) which is a cofactor in the reaction. An amino group from L-Ornithinine is transferred to PLP which converts it to pyridoxamine phosphate (PMP) and L-Orn is converted to L-glutamate-y-semialdehyde. PLP is regenerated when PMP is transferred to alpha-KG. | |||

hOAT is a ubiquitous enzyme found in almost all organisms and has been found to be overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HCC), which is a type of liver cancer. It is found predominantly in the liver and kidney. The liver, where it is an integral part of the urea cycle, and the intestine, where it synthesizes citrulline for export and plays a major role in amino acid homeostasis, particularly of L-glutamine and L-arginine. Studying this protein could be a potential drug to target cancer as a different therapy and radiation. hOAT has been a target mechanism-based inactivator (MBIs) in drug design efforts. HCC has diagnosed an advanced type of cancer which makes it more resistant to chemotherapy. hOAT inhibitors were created as fragmented-sized alternative substances such as GABA and 5-aminovaleric acid (AVA). hOAT was soaked with GABA and AVA and the new substrates prevented original interactions with catalytic amino acids and the ligand (PLP) which creates a tighter to hOAT instead of L-ornithine. GABA and AVA had a stronger binding affinity and slower turnovers which makes them potential drug targets for hOAT. | |||
