Fumarylacetoacetic acid (fumarylacetoacetate) is an intermediate in the metabolism of tyrosine. It is formed through the conversion of 4-maleylacetoacetic acid into fumarylacetoacetic acid by the enzyme maleylacetoacetate isomerase. Fumarylacetoacetic acid is hydrolyzed by the enzyme fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH), producing acetoacetate and fumarate.[1] These compounds may then enter various other metabolic pathways.
Biosynthesis
The amino acid tyrosine is metabolised in a series of reactions, one of which is catalysed by homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase. This converts the intermediate homogentisic acid into 4-maleylacetoacetic acid.[2][3]
The enzyme maleylacetoacetate isomerase subsequently converts 4-maleylacetoacetic acid to its geometric isomer, fumarylacetoacetic acid.[4]
Metabolism
The enzyme fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) cleaves fumarylacetoacetic acid at its carbon-carbon bond during a hydrolysis reaction.[5] This is the final step in phenylalanine and tyrosine metabolism, yielding fumaric acid and acetoacetic acid. These hydrolytic reactions are essential during aromatic amino acid metabolism in humans.[6]
Clinical significance
Fumarylacetoacetate may accumulate in patients with Tyrosinemia type I, in which there is a deficiency of the FAH enzyme.[7] In this disease, fumarylacetoacetate and precursors in the catabolism of tyrosine, including maleylacetoacetic acid, succinylacetone, and homogentisic acid.
