Gene Expression Analysis of HPRT-Deficient Cells Maintained with Physiological Levels of Folic Acid [PDF]
Lesch–Nyhan disease (LND) is associated with a complete deficiency of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) activity due to mutations in the HPRT1 gene.

Context-Specific Metabolic Alterations in HPRT1 Knockout Cells Within a 3D Culture System. [PDF]
Cancer metabolism studies in 2D culture models often overlook the in vivo complexity. We found that HPRT1 knockout suppressed cell proliferation in 3D and in vivo, but had minimal effect in 2D. Metabolomic analysis also revealed that HPRT1 knockout increased carnosine production via the β‐alanine pathway in 3D cultures. ABSTRACT Background Cancer cells

Adeno‐associated virus serotype 2 capsid variants for improved liver‐directed gene therapy
Abstract Background and Aims Current liver‐directed gene therapies look for adeno‐associated virus (AAV) vectors with improved efficacy. With this background, capsid engineering is explored. Whereas shuffled capsid library screenings have resulted in potent liver targeting variants with one first vector in human clinical trials, modifying natural ...

C1'-Branched Acyclic Nucleoside Phosphonates as Inhibitors of Plasmodium Falciparum 6-Oxopurine Phosphoribosyltransferase. [PDF]
Novel C1'‐branched acyclic nucleoside phosphonates were synthesized. The compounds are inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum and human 6‐oxopurine phosphoribosyltransferases with Ki values as low as 0.4 µM and 0.7 µM, respectively. A phosphonodiamidate prodrug exhibited IC50 = 4.3 µM against a drug‐sensitive strain of P.
