The Role of Gene Duplication in the Evolution of Purine Nucleotide Salvage Pathways

Origins of life and evolution of the biosphere, 1998
Purine nucleotides are formed de novo by a widespread biochemical route that may be of monophyletic origin, or are synthesized from preformed purine bases and nucleosides through different salvage pathways. Three monophyletic sets of purine salvage enzymes, each of which catalyzes mechanistically similar reactions, can be identified: (a) adenine ...

Interrelation between salvage of purine nucleotides and protein synthesis in rat heart cells

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1985
The effect of transition from a respiring to a respiration-inhibited state on the rate of protein synthesis was investigated in glycolyzing, cultured rat heart cells. The rate was found to be significantly lower after blocking respiration, and it was further decreased by L-lactate.

Changes in the de novo, salvage, and degradation pathways of pyrimidine nucleotides during tobacco shoot organogenesis

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2008
Pyrimidine nucleotide metabolism was studied in tobacco callus cultured for 21days under shoot-forming (SF) and non-shoot-forming (NSF) conditions by following the metabolic fate of orotic acid, a precursor of the de novo pathway, and uridine and uracil, intermediates of the salvage and degradation pathways respectively. Nucleic acid synthesis was also

Enzymes of salvage and de novo pathways of synthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides in human colorectal adenocarcinomas

Biochemical Pharmacology, 1982
The activity of uridine-cytidine kinase (Urd-Cyd kinase). a key enzyme in the salvage of pyrimidine nucleosides, averaged 0.86 +/- 0.16 (S.E.M.) nmole uridine phosphates . min-1 . (mg protein)-1 in fifty-three specimens of human colorectal adenocarcinomas.

Adenine salvage enzymes and intracellular nucleotide triphosphate content in Physarum flavicomum amoebae during growth and development

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1989
The specific activity of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) (EC 2.4.2.7) and adenosine phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.-), two enzymes involved in the utilization of exogenous adenine, was measured in extracts of myxamoebae-swarm cells of Physarum flavicomum undergoing growth, microcyst formation (control), and during adenine inhibition of encystment ...

De novo and salvage biosynthetic pathways of pyridine nucleotides and nicotinic acid conjugates in cultured plant cells

Plant Science, 2005
Abstract To estimate the operation of the de novo and salvage pathways of pyridine nucleotide synthesis, [3H]quinolinic acid, an intermediate of the de novo synthesis, and [14C]nicotinamide and [14C]nicotinic acid, substrates of the salvage pathways, were administered to cultured white spruce (Picea glauca) and Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus ...

Accelerated Purine Base Salvage — A Possible Cause of Elevated Nucleotide Pool in the Erythrocytes of Patients with Uraemia

1995
Erythrocytes from patients with uraemia invariably contain markedly increased ATP concentration1. Other effects of uraemia on erythrocyte metabolism are: elevation of GTP, ITP and 2.3-DPG concentration1–2, increased utilisation of glucose, higher lactate production or decreased Na/K dependent membrane ATP-ase activity3, 4.

Molecular Characterization of RNA degradation and nucleotide salvage in the vacuole of Arabidopsis

The vacuole is a membrane-bound organelle that plays an essential role in the hydrolysis of biomolecules and nutrients remobilization through the action of various lytic enzymes including RNS2, a T2 RNase of Arabidopsis. By autophagy-related pathways and a SKI2-dependent direct uptake mechanism, RNA is delivered to vacuoles and degraded by RNS2 to ...
