Perfecting a high hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase activity-uricase KO mice to test the effects of purine- and non-purine-type xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) inhibitors. [PDF]
Purine metabolism in mice and human differ in terms of uricase (Uox) activity as well as hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) activity.

In our search for novel biocatalysts for the synthesis of nucleic acid derivatives, we found a good candidate in a putative dual-domain hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT)/adenylate kinase (AMPK) from Zobellia galactanivorans (ZgHGPRT ...

Human hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase.
A mutant form of human hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRTToronto) was isolated from erythrocytes of a male patient with gout due to a partial deficiency of enzyme activity. The tryptic peptides of HPRTToronto were mapped by reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography in an attempt to define the precise abnormality in its primary

The aim of this study is to investigate these enzymes as possible biomarkers in two colorectal cancer cell lines: HT29, SW480, SW620, and Colo205. With 1,168,929 individuals currently diagnosed with colorectal cancer in the United States, there remains a

Epigenetic modulation of human neurobiological disorders: Lesch-Nyhan disease as a model disorder [PDF]
Epigenetics is the study of how cells control gene activity without changing the DNA sequence. Epigenetic changes affect how genes are turned on and off or expressed, and thus help regulate how cells in different parts of the body use the same genetic ...

Restoring Ureagenesis in Hepatocytes by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Genomic Addition to Arginase-deficient Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells [PDF]
Urea cycle disorders are incurable enzymopathies that affect nitrogen metabolism and typically lead to hyperammonemia. Arginase deficiency results from a mutation in Arg1, the enzyme regulating the final step of ureagenesis and typically results in ...

Background and Objectives: Non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms are typical genetic variations that may potentially affect the structure or function of expressed proteins, and therefore could be involved in complex disorders.

Evaluation of the upregulation and surface expression of hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase in acute lymphoblastic leukemia and Burkitt’s B cell lymphoma [PDF]
Background The aim of this study is to determine whether Hypoxanthine Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) could be used as a biomarker for the diagnosis and treatment of B cell malignancies.
