Nucleoside Metabolism Is Induced in Common Bean During Early Seedling Development
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Nucleoside hydrolases (NSH; nucleosidases) catalyze the cleavage of nucleosides into ribose and free nucleobases. These enzymes have been postulated as key elements controlling the ratio between nucleotide salvage and degradation.

ATR inhibition facilitates targeting of leukemia dependence on convergent nucleotide biosynthetic pathways. [PDF]
, 2017 Leukemia cells rely on two nucleotide biosynthetic pathways, de novo and salvage, to produce dNTPs for DNA replication. Here, using metabolomic, proteomic, and phosphoproteomic approaches, we show that inhibition of the replication stress sensing kinase ...

Structural phylogenomics reveals gradual evolutionary replacement of abiotic chemistries by protein enzymes in purine metabolism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The origin of metabolism has been linked to abiotic chemistries that existed in our planet at the beginning of life. While plausible chemical pathways have been proposed, including the synthesis of nucleobases, ribose and ribonucleotides, the cooption of

Trypanosoma brucei methylthioadenosine phosphorylase protects the parasite from the antitrypanosomal effect of deoxyadenosine [PDF]
, 2016 Trypanosoma brucei causes African sleeping sickness for which no vaccine exists and available treatments are of limited use due to their high toxicity or lack of efficacy. T.

Increased Adenine Nucleotide Degradation in Skeletal Muscle Atrophy [PDF]
, 2019 Adenine nucleotides (AdNs: ATP, ADP, AMP) are essential biological compounds that facilitate many necessary cellular processes by providing chemical energy, mediating intracellular signaling, and regulating protein metabolism and solubilization.

Rhythmic Nucleotide Synthesis in the Liver: Temporal Segregation of Metabolites
Cell Reports, 2012 The synthesis of nucleotides in the body is centrally controlled by the liver, via salvage or de novo synthesis. We reveal a pervasive circadian influence on hepatic nucleotide metabolism, from rhythmic gene expression of rate-limiting enzymes to ...

Metabolic engineering of the purine biosynthetic pathway in Corynebacterium glutamicum results in increased intracellular pool sizes of IMP and hypoxanthine [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Purine nucleotides exhibit various functions in cellular metabolism. Besides serving as building blocks for nucleic acid synthesis, they participate in signaling pathways and energy metabolism.
