D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO; also DAO, OXDA, DAMOX) is a peroxisomal enzyme containing FAD as cofactor that is expressed in a wide range of species from yeasts to human.[1] It is not present in plants or in bacteria which instead use D-amino acid dehydrogenase. Its function is to oxidize D-amino acids to the corresponding imino acids, producing ammonia and hydrogen peroxide.

This enzyme belongs to the FAD dependent oxidoreductase family, and acts on the CH-NH2 group of D-amino acid donors with oxygen as acceptor. The enzyme is most active toward neutral D-amino acids, and not active toward acidic D-amino acids.

DAAO is a candidate susceptibility gene[2] and together with G72 may play a role in the glutamatergic mechanisms of schizophrenia.[3] Risperidone and sodium benzoate are inhibitors of DAAO.

D-amino acid oxidase should not be confused with diamine oxidase as they are both sometimes referred to as DAO.

History

"The enzyme D-amino acid oxidase(DAO, DAAO) was discovered in the porcine kidney almost 75 years ago, and has since been extensively studied as a model flavin-dependent oxidase." [4]


Neurobiology of DAO

"The human DAO gene is located at chromosome 12q24 and comprises eleven exons."[5]


Actions of DAO in the Brain

"DAO oxidases D-amino acids through concomitent reduction of its prosthetic group, flavin adenine dinucleotide(FAD), producing the corresponding imino acids; this is then hydrolysed to yield ammonia and the corresponding a-keto acid." [6]

Regulation

Recently, mammalian D-amino acid oxidase has been connected to the brain D-serine metabolism and to the regulation of the glutamatergic neurotransmission. In a postmortem study, the activity of DAAO was found to be two-fold higher in schizophrenia.[7]

This protein may use the morpheein model of allosteric regulation.[8]

Applications

DAAO is used as a biocatalyst in several biotechnological applications, such as the oxidation of cephalosporin C, the deracemition of racemic D-amino acid solutions and as the biological component in several biosensors for the determination of the content in D-amino acids of biological fluids.
