physiological function
additional information
physiological function
the white egg 1 mutant, which is characterized by white eyes and white eggs, is deficient in Bombyx kynurenine 3-monooxygenase activity.Expression of the wild-type gene under control of either the cytoplasmic actin gene promoter (A3KMO) or the native KMO gene promoter (KKMO) leads to adults with brown eyes, and the eggs laid by the transgenic females are also brown. The A3KMO silkworm lines express the transcript in the mid-gut, fat bodies, and Malpighian tubules. The KKMO line expresses the transcript only in the fat bodies and Malpighian tubules. The intensity of eye and egg color in the transgenic lines is proportional to the KMO expression level
physiological function
-
T helper 17 cells preferentially express kynurenine 3-monooxygenase. Enzyme inhibition, either with a specific inhibitor or via siRNA-mediated silencing, markedly increases IL-17 productionin vitro, whereas IFN-gamma production by T helper 1 cells is unaffected. Inhibition of kynurenine 3-monooxygenase significantly exacerbates disease in a Th17-driven model of autoimmune gastritis
additional information
the C-terminal region of pig liver KMO plays a dual role. First, it is required for the enzymatic activity. Second, it functions as a mitochondrial targeting signal

KMO inhibitor UPF 648, totally blocks KMO at 0.1 and 0.01 mM and is still highly active at 0.001 mM (81% inhibition). It reduces 3-hydroxykynurenine synthesis by 64% without affecting kynurenic acid formation. In neuron-depleted striata, UPF 648 decreases both 3-hydroxykynurenine and quinolinic acid production by 77% and 66%, respectively and also raises kynurenic acid synthesis by 27%. 0.1 mM UPF 648 blocks KMO in both lesioned and contralateral striatum, but does not interfere with KAT activity in either tissue

T helper 17 cells preferentially express kynurenine 3-monooxygenase. Enzyme inhibition, either with a specific inhibitor or via siRNA-mediated silencing, markedly increases IL-17 productionin vitro, whereas IFN-gamma production by T helper 1 cells is unaffected. Inhibition of kynurenine 3-monooxygenase significantly exacerbates disease in a Th17-driven model of autoimmune gastritis
