Purine nucleoside phosphorylase [PDF]
Biomeditsinskaya Khimiya, 2013 Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) is one of the most important enzymes of the purine metabolism, wich promotes the recycling of purine bases. Nowadays is the actual to search for effective inhibitors of this enzyme which is necessary for creation T-cell immunodeficient status of the organism in the organs and tissues transplantation, and ...

PNP (Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase) [PDF]
Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology, 2018 The purine nucleoside phosphorylase gene (PNP) encodes an enzyme which reversibly catalyzes the phosphorolysis of purine nucleosides. PNP is ubiquitously expressed in mammalian cells and tissues. PNP mutations cause nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency which result in defective T cell mediated immunity but can also affect B cell immunity and antibody ...

Efficient Biocatalytic Synthesis of Dihalogenated Purine Nucleoside Analogues Applying Thermodynamic Calculations [PDF]
, 2020 The enzymatic synthesis of nucleoside analogues has been shown to be a sustainable and efficient alternative to chemical synthesis routes. In this study, dihalogenated nucleoside analogues were produced by thermostable nucleoside phosphorylases in ...

Structural determinants of the 5'-methylthioinosine specificity of Plasmodium purine nucleoside phosphorylase. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Plasmodium parasites rely upon purine salvage for survival. Plasmodium purine nucleoside phosphorylase is part of the streamlined Plasmodium purine salvage pathway that leads to the phosphorylysis of both purines and 5'-methylthiopurines, byproducts of ...

Thermodynamic reaction control of nucleoside phosphorolysis [PDF]
, 2020 Nucleoside analogs represent a class of important drugs for cancer and antiviral treatments. Nucleoside phosphorylases (NPases) catalyze the phosphorolysis of nucleosides and are widely employed for the synthesis of pentose‐1‐phosphates and nucleoside ...

PNP inhibitors selectively kill cancer cells lacking SAMHD1
Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2020 Purine nucleoside phosphorylase inhibitors (PNP-Is) were developed to ablate transformed lymphocytes. However, only some patients with leukemia benefit from PNP-Is. We provide a molecular explanation: the deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) hydrolase

An Enzymatic Flow-Based Preparative Route to Vidarabine
Molecules, 2020 The bi-enzymatic synthesis of the antiviral drug vidarabine (arabinosyladenine, ara-A), catalyzed by uridine phosphorylase from Clostridium perfringens (CpUP) and a purine nucleoside phosphorylase from Aeromonas hydrophila (AhPNP), was re-designed under ...

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase: A new marker for free oxygen radical injury to the endothelial cell [PDF]
, 1990 The effect of ischemia and reperfusion on purine nucleoside phosphorylase was studied in an isolated perfused rat liver model. This enzyme is localized primarily in the cytoplasm of the endothelial and Kupffer cells; some activity is associated with the ...
