Tyrosine Metabolism upload-662Homo sapiens
Tyrosine is produced in cells by hydroxylating (via phenylalanine hydroxylase) the essential amino acid phenylalanine. Half of the phenylalanine required goes into the production of tyrosine; if the diet is rich in tyrosine itself, the requirements for phenylalanine are reduced by about 50%. Phenylalanine hydroxylase is a mixed-function oxygenase: one atom of oxygen is incorporated into water and the other into the hydroxyl of tyrosine. The reductant is the tetrahydrofolate-related cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin, which is maintained in the reduced state by the NADH-dependent enzyme dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR). The catabolism of tyrosine starts with an α-ketoglutarate dependent transamination through the tyrosine transaminase, which generates p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate. The next oxidation step is catalyzed by p-hydroxylphenylpyruvate-dioxygenase and generates homogentisate (2,5-dihydroxyphenyl-1-acetate). In order to split the aromatic ring of homogentisate, a further dioxygenase, homogentistate-oxygenase is required. Through this reaction, maleylacetoacetate is created. Fumarylacetate is then generated by maleylacetoacetate-cis-trans-isomerase through rotation of the carboxyl group created from the hydroxyl group via oxidation. This cis-trans-isomerase contains glutathione as a coenzyme. Fumarylacetoacetate is finally split into acetoactate and fumarate via fumarylacetoacetate-hydrolase through the addition of a water molecule. Thereby fumarate (also a metabolite of the citric acid cycle) and acetoacetate (3-ketobutyroate) are liberated. Acetoacetate is a ketone body, which is activated with succinyl-CoA, and thereafter it can be converted into acetyl-CoA which in turn can be oxidized by the citric acid cycle or be used for fatty acid synthesis.

Tyrosine-Kinase Inhibition of BCR-ABL PathwayHomo sapiens
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) block chemical messengers (enzymes) called tyrosine kinases. Tyrosine kinases help to send growth signals in cells, so blocking them stops the cell growing and dividing. Cancer growth blockers can block one type of tyrosine kinase or more than one type. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) inhibit corresponding kinases from phosphorylating tyrosine residues of their substrates and then block the activation of downstream signaling pathways. Tyrosine kinase enzymes (TKs) can be categorized into receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), non-receptor tyrosine kinases (NRTKs), and a small group of dual-specificity kinases (DSK) which can phosphorylate serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues. RTKs are transmembrane receptor that includes vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR), platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFR), insulin receptor (InsR) family, and the ErbB receptor family, which includes epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) and the human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2). NRTKs are cytoplasmic proteins that consist of nine families, including Abl, Ack, Csk, Fak, Fes/Fer, Jak, Src, Syk/Zap70, and Tec, with the addition of Brl/Sik, Rak/Frk, Rlk/Txk, and Srm, which fall outside the nine defined families. The most notable example of DSKs is the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MEKs), which are principally involved in the MAP pathways. Kinase inhibitors are either irreversible or reversible. The irreversible kinase inhibitors tend to covalently bind and block the ATP site resulting in irreversible inhibition. The reversible kinase inhibitors can further subdivide into four major subtypes based on the confirmation of the binding pocket as well as the DFG motif.
Different binding modes of TKIs include
Type I inhibitors: competitively bind to the ATP-binding site of active TKs. The arrangement of the DFG motif in type I inhibitors has the aspartate residue facing the catalytic site of the kinase.
Type II inhibitors: bind to inactive kinases, usually at the ATP-binding site. The DFG motif in type II inhibitors protrudes outward away from the ATP-binding site. Due to the outward rotation of the DFG motif, many type II inhibitors can also exploit regions adjacent to the ATP-binding site that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Type III inhibitors: do not interact with the ATP-binding pocket. Type III inhibitors exclusively bind to allosteric pockets adjacent to the ATP-binding region.
Type IV inhibitors: bind allosteric sites far removed from the ATP-binding pocket.
Type V inhibitors: refer to a proposed subset of kinase inhibitors that exhibit multiple binding modes

Tyrosinemia Type 2 (or Richner-Hanhart Syndrome)Rattus norvegicus
Tyrosinemia II also known as Richner-Hanhart syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation in the TAT gene the encodes for tyrosine aminotransferase. A defect in this enzyme causes excess tyrosine to accumulate in the blood and urine, tyrosine crystals to form in the cornea, and increased excretion in the urine of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, hydroxyphenyllactic acid, and p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid. Symptoms commonly appear in early childhood and include: mental retardation, photophobia (increased sensitivity to light), excessive tearing, eye redness and pain and skin lesions of the palms and soles. The patient is treated with restriction of dietary phenylalanine and tyrosine. Sometimes a tyrosine degradation inhibitor is also used to prevents the formation of fumarylacetoacetate from tyrosine. Trosinemia II is commonly misdiagnosed as herpes simplex keratitis.

Tyrosinemia Type 3 (TYRO3)Mus musculus
Tyrosinemia type 3, one of the three types of tyrosinemia, is a rare disorder with only a few reported cases. Tyrosinemia type 3 results from a defect in the HPD gene which codes for 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase. 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase plays a role in the catabolism of tyrosine by catalyzing the conversion of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate to homogentisate. A defect in this enzyme causes tyrosine and phenylalanine to accumulate in the blood resulting in increased excretion of tyrosine in the urine. Tyrosinemia type 3 symptoms include: seizures, mental retardation and intermittent ataxia (occasional loss of balance and coordination).
