Association between Cigarette Smoking and Hypoxanthine Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase Activity

open access: yesKaohsiung 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.

Identification of a new lesch-nyhan syndrome mutation (HPRT BRASIL) and analysis of potentially heterozygous females [PDF]

open access: yesArquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 1999
The mutation in the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) gene has been determined in two brothers affected with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. Female members of the family who are at risk for being heterozygous carriers of the HPRT mutation were ...

Modulation of host glutamine anabolism enhances the sensitivity of small cell lung cancer to chemotherapy

open access: yesCell Reports, 2023
Summary: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of the deadliest human cancers, with a 5-year survival rate of ∼7%. Here, we performed a targeted proteomics analysis of human SCLC samples and thereby identified hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 ...

Evaluating Iso-Mukaadial Acetate and Ursolic Acid Acetate as Plasmodium falciparum Hypoxanthine-Guanine-Xanthine Phosphoribosyltransferase Inhibitors

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2019
To date, Plasmodium falciparum is one of the most lethal strains of the malaria parasite. P. falciparum lacks the required enzymes to create its own purines via the de novo pathway, thereby making Plasmodium falciparum hypoxanthine-guanine-xanthine ...

Feeding Stimulates Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Mobilization in Mouse Hypothalamus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Previous studies have shown that the sphingolipid-derived mediator sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) reduces food intake by activating G protein-coupled S1P receptor-1 (S1PR1) in the hypothalamus.

Thermophilic phosphoribosyltransferases Thermus thermophilus HB27 in nucleotide synthesis

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2018
Phosphoribosyltransferases are the tools that allow the synthesis of nucleotide analogues using multi-enzymatic cascades. The recombinant adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (TthAPRT) and hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (TthHPRT) from Thermus ...

Induced pluripotent stem cells from subjects with Lesch-Nyhan disease

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
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).
