Background: PAM

Pedptidylglycine alpha-Amidating Monooxygenase (PAM) catalyzes the C-terminal amidation that is required for the function of a number of peptide hormones (1). PAM possesses two enzymatic activities on a single polypeptide chain (2), due to the presence of a peptidylglycine alpha‑hydroxylating monooxygenase (PHM) domain and a peptidyl‑ alpha‑hydroxyglycine alpha‑amidating lyase (PAL) domain. The C-terminal glycines of precursor peptides are hydroxylated at the glycine  alpha carbon by the PHM activity in a reaction that requires ascorbate, then the PAL activity completes the amidation, releasing glyoxylate in the process. PAM is required for the biosynthesis of peptides such as Substance P, neuropeptide Y, oxytocin, vasopressin, and calcitonin (3). PAM is highly expressed in tissues that synthesize bioactive peptides, such as the thyroid and pituitary glands. The enzyme is generally stored in secretory granules, but soluble secreted forms have been observed (3). Recombinant human PAM was expressed as a C-terminally truncated protein lacking its transmembrane and cytosolic domains to facilitate its secretion.
