Human Hypoxanthine Phosphoribosyltransferase [PDF]
Hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (inosine monophosphate:pyrophosphate phosphoribosyltransferase EC 2.4.2.8) has been purified 50-fold from an acid-treated lysate of human erythrocytes. The average particle weight of the enzyme was estimated by gel filtration at 60,000.

Purification and characterization of mouse hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase.
Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPR transferase) (EC 2.4.2.8) has been purified approximately 4500-fold to apparent homogeneity from mouse liver. The procedure involves the use of affinity chromatography and was designed to be readily adaptable to small scale isolations.

Kinetic Studies of Hypoxanthine-Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase
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 ...

Crystal structure of Leishmania tarentolae hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase [PDF]
Abstract Background Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) (EC 2.4.2.8) is a central enzyme in the purine recycling pathway. Parasitic protozoa of the order Kinetoplastida cannot synthesize purines de novo and use the salvage pathway to synthesize purine bases, making this an attractive target for ...

Prioritization of Deleterious Variations in the Human Hypoxanthine-Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase Gene [PDF]
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.

Human Hypoxanthine-Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase
Abstract Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.8) has been purified to homogeneity from human erythrocytes obtained from one male donor. The normal human enzyme has a Stokes radius of 36 A with a molecular weight of 68,000 and is composed of two subunits which have identical molecular weight and net charge.

Hypoxanthine-Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase Is Dispensable for Mycobacterium smegmatis Viability
Purine bases, released by the hydrolytic and phosphorolytic degradation of nucleic acids and nucleotides, can be salvaged and recycled. The hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT), which catalyzes the formation of guanosine-5′-monophosphate from guanine and inosine-5′-monophosphate from hypoxanthine, represents a potential ...
