Psychiatry related information on Maoa

 

High impact information on Maoa

  • Monoamine oxidase A and B (MAO A and B) are the major neurotransmitter-degrading enzymes in the central nervous system and in peripheral tissues [10].
  • MAO A and B cDNAs from human, rat, and bovine species have been cloned and their deduced amino acid sequences compared [10].
  • The genes that encode MAO A and B are closely aligned on the X chromosome (Xp11.23), and have identical exon-intron organization [10].
  • MAO-A is also undetectable in neurons containing 5-HT, a good substrate for MAO-A [11].
  • Furthermore, although the inhibition of DA reuptake by cocaine and nomifensine caused a short-term prolongation of DA responses, the combined inhibition of MAO A and B enzymes caused a long-term prolongation of DA effects [12].

Associations of Maoa with chemical compounds

  • Clorgyline inhibited MAO-A by 95%, with 30% inhibition of MAO-B [23].
  • These results show for the first time the existence of a dopamine-dependent MAO-A regulation involving D(2)-like receptors, inhibition of the cAMP-PKA pathway, and an ex novo enzyme synthesis [19].
  • Chronic treatment with the MAO-B inhibitors reduced striatal MAO-B activity by 90%, with 15% (TVP-1012) or 40% (deprenyl) inhibition of MAO-A [23].
  • Thus, while most of the condensed pyridazines were reversible inhibitors of MAO-B with little or no MAO-A effects, the pyrimidine derivatives proved to be reversible and selective MAO-A inhibitors [24].
  • The increase in MAO-A protein was preceded by an augmentation of MAO-A mRNA that was prevented by the transcriptional inhibitor actinomycin D [19].
 

Physical interactions of Maoa

  • A relatively high density of [3H]RO41-1049 binding to MAO-A enzyme was present in all regions of the rat kidney (160-210 fmol/mg) compared with a low density of [3H]RO19-6327 binding to MAO-B (< 25 fmol/mg) [25].
 

Regulatory relationships of Maoa

  • MAO B was markedly inhibited with the oral dose of 1 mg/kg without any alteration of MAO A, and the inhibition almost did not exceed 24 h [26].
 

Other interactions of Maoa

  • A single mutation in which Phe-208 in MAO A was substituted by the corresponding residue of Ile in MAO B was sufficient to convert the A-type substrate selectivity, and the reverse was exactly the case [27].
