Lesch-Nyhan Disease and Its Variants: Phenotypic and Mutation Spectrum of Hypoxanthine-Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase Deficiency in Argentine Patients [PDF]

open access: goldJournal of Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Screening, 2021
Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) deficiency is a disorder of purine metabolism responsible for Lesch-Nyhan Disease (LND) and its variants, HPRT-related hyperuricemia with neurologic dysfunction (HND) and HPRT-related hyperuricemia ...

Human hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase.

open access: hybridJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1983
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

Red Blood Cells from Individuals with Lesch–Nyhan Syndrome: Multi-Omics Insights into a Novel S162N Mutation Causing Hypoxanthine-Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase Deficiency [PDF]

open access: goldAntioxidants, 2023
Lesch–Nyhan syndrome (LN) is an is an X-linked recessive inborn error of metabolism that arises from a deficiency of purine salvage enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT).

Restoring Ureagenesis in Hepatocytes by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Genomic Addition to Arginase-deficient Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2016
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 ...

Kinetic Studies of Hypoxanthine-Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase

open access: hybridJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1968
Abstract The mechanism of reaction of human erythrocyte hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase was investigated by initial velocity, product inhibition, and isotope exchange studies. Although initial velocity data are compatible with a mechanism involving binary enzyme-substrate complexes, the product inhibition and isotope exchange studies ...

Association between Cigarette Smoking and Hypoxanthine Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase Activity

open access: goldKaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2005
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between smoking behavior and hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) activity. A cross-sectional study was performed of 82 men, including 38 non-smokers and 44 smokers.

Evaluation of the upregulation and surface expression of hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase in acute lymphoblastic leukemia and Burkitt’s B cell lymphoma [PDF]

open access: goldCancer Cell International, 2020
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.

Investigation of the functional hot-spot residues of an enzyme by real-time monitoring of the enzymatic reaction using NMR and computational approaches [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Favipiravir is an anti-influenza prodrug that is metabolized to its phosphoribosylated form, favipiravir-ribofuranosyl-5′-monophosphate (favipiravir-RMP), by human endogenous enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT).

Case report: Whole exome sequencing identifies a novel variant in the HPRT1 gene in a male with developmental delay [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS, OMIM #300322) is a rare X-linked genetic disorder caused by variants in the HPRT1 gene, which codes for the Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT).
