Crystal structure and reaction mechanism of 7,8-dihydroneopterin aldolase from staphylococcus aureus

Nature Structural Biology, 1998
Dihydroneopterin aldolase catalyzes the conversion of 7,8-dihydroneopterin to 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin during the de novo synthesis of folk acid from guanosine triphosphate. The gene encoding the dihydroneopterin aldolase from S. aureus has been cloned, sequenced and expressed in Escherichia coli.

Neopterin and 7,8-Dihydroneopterin-Induced Signal Transduction Cascades in Cell Lines

2002
Stimulation of monocytes/macrophages with IFN-g, derived from activated T cells, results in the release of elevated concentrations of neopterin and 7,8-dihydroneopterin by activation of GTP cyclohydrolase I (1,2). In patients, he production of neopterin hereby closely correlates with IFN-g concentrations and the activation of cell mediated immunity (3).

Neopterin, 7,8‐dihydroneopterin, total neopterin levels and their ratio in periodontitis: New dilemma

Oral Diseases
AbstractObjectiveDetermine the saliva and serum levels of neopterin (NP) and 7,8‐dihydroneopterin (7,8NP) in periodontitis patients and to reveal the relationship of these data with clinical periodontal parameters.Materials and MethodsTwenty‐three patients with stage III/grade B periodontitis and 23 periodontally healthy individuals were included ...

Protection of U937 cells from free radical damage by the macrophage synthesized antioxidant 7,8-dihydroneopterin

Free Radical Research, 2001
Interferon-gamma stimulation of human macrophages causes the synthesis and release of neopterin and its reduced form 7,8-dihydroneopterin (7,8-NP). The purpose of this cellular response is undetermined but in vitro experiments suggests 7,8-NP is an antioxidant. We have found 7,8-NP can protect monocyte-like U937 cells from oxidative damage.

Review: Role of Neopterin and 7,8-Dihydroneopterin in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection: Marker for Disease Progression and Pathogenic Link

Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes and Human Retrovirology, 1996
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with increased concentrations of neopterin derivatives, released in large quantities by human macrophages on stimulation with interferon-gamma (INF-gamma). Neopterin concentrations thus inversely correlate with absolute CD4+ T-cell numbers and strongly predict progression of disease from ...

Role of 7,8-dihydroneopterin in T-cell apoptosis and HTLV-1 transcription in vitro.

Oncogene, 1997
Adult T-cell leukemia is associated with high levels of neopterin, released in large amounts from human macrophages upon stimulation with interferon-gamma. Recent data suggested a potential role of neopterin-derivatives in oxygen radical-mediated processes, and evidence accumulates that oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of viral diseases.
