Targeting purine metabolism in ovarian cancer
Purine, an abundant substrate in organisms, is a critical raw material for cell proliferation and an important factor for immune regulation. The purine de novo pathway and salvage pathway are tightly regulated by multiple enzymes, and dysfunction in ...

Purification and Characterization of Human Hypoxanthine/Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase [PDF]
Human hypoxanthine/guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.8) was purified from red blood cells by the following two methods. Method A includes (a) elimination of hemoglobin by DEAE‐cellulose, (b) DEAE‐Sephadex chromatography, (c) specific elution of the enzyme from CM‐Sephadex by pyrophosphate and (d) Sephadex G‐100 gel filtration.

Mitochondrial metabolism of guanine nucleotides possible role of guanosine [PDF]
The catabolism of intramitochondrial guanine nucleotides was examined. During 30 min incubation of rat liver mitochondria at 37°C in the presence of oligomycin and carboxyatractyloside, guanine and xanthine were formed and appeared in the medium.

dGTP starvation in Escherichia coli provides new insights into the thymineless-death phenomenon.
Starvation of cells for the DNA building block dTTP is strikingly lethal (thymineless death, TLD), and this effect is observed in all organisms. The phenomenon, discovered some 60 years ago, is widely used to kill cells in anticancer therapies, but many ...

Induced pluripotent stem cells from subjects with Lesch-Nyhan disease
Lesch-Nyhan disease (LND) is an inherited disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the HPRT1 gene, which encodes the purine recycling enzyme hypoxanthine–guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGprt).

Reduced levels of dopamine and altered metabolism in brains of HPRT knock-out rats: a new rodent model of Lesch-Nyhan Disease [PDF]
Lesch-Nyhan disease (LND) is a severe neurological disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT), an enzyme required for efficient recycling of purine nucleotides.

Hypoxanthine-guanine phosophoribosyltransferase (HPRT) deficiency: Lesch-Nyhan syndrome [PDF]
Deficiency of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) activity is an inborn error of purine metabolism associated with uric acid overproduction and a continuum spectrum of neurological manifestations depending on the degree of the enzymatic
