Elevated Expression of Hypoxanthine Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase within Malignant Tissue
Hypoxanthine Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) is a housekeeping enzyme involved in the purine synthesis of guanine and inosine in the salvage pathway.

Identification of Fis1 Interactors in Toxoplasma gondii Reveals a Novel Protein Required for Peripheral Distribution of the Mitochondrion [PDF]
Toxoplasma gondii’s single mitochondrion is very dynamic and undergoes morphological changes throughout the parasite’s life cycle. During parasite division, the mitochondrion elongates, enters the daughter cells just prior to cytokinesis, and undergoes ...

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 ...

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 ...

The MAO-B Inhibitor Selegiline Reduces the Viability of Different Prostate Cancer Cell Lines and Enhances the Effects of Anti-Androgen and Cytostatic Agents. [PDF]
Distinct mechanisms of viability decreasing actions of selegiline in androgen‐insensitive PC3 and sensitive 22Rv1 PAC cell lines. MAO‐B inhibition in the mitochondrial membrane of PC3 cells leads to the upregulation of the BAX and downregulation of FOX and GLUT1 which potentially results in reduced glucose uptake and apoptosis induction.
