Viral Reprogramming of Nucleotide Synthesis and Its Impact on Viral Infection

open access: yesJournal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. They also play essential roles in various other biological processes, including protein glycosylation, ribosome biogenesis, and cytoskeletal function. The significance of the regulation of nucleotide metabolism has recently gained more attention in many physiological and pathological contexts,

Nucleoside-dependent synthesis of organic phosphorus compounds by rat liver nuclei [PDF]

open access: yes, 1967
a) A modified procedure of the WIDNELL and TATA8 method yields rat liver nuclei manifesting a high degree of purity and activity. b) These nuclei contain a nucleoside-dependent phosphorylating activity that is readily released and apparently unrelated to

Sexual Selection on Non‐Ornamental Traits Is Underpinned by Evidence of Genetic Constraints on Sex‐Biased Expression in Dusky Pipefish

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 15, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Species lacking distinct secondary sex characteristics, such as differences in size or morphology, are often thought to experience lower levels of sex‐specific selection in comparison to highly sexually dimorphic organisms. However, monomorphism in classic visible traits could be a result of genetic or physiological constraints that prevent ...

Ischemic nucleotide breakdown increases during cardiac development due to drop in adenosine anabolism/catabolism ratio [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Our earlier work on reperfusion showed that adult rat hearts released almost twice as much purine nucleosides and oxypurines as newborn hearts did [Am J Physiol 254 (1988) H1091].

Conservation of structure and activity in Plasmodium purine nucleoside phosphorylases [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Structural Biology, 2009
Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) is central to purine salvage mechanisms in Plasmodium parasites, the causative agents of malaria. Most human malaria results from infection either by Plasmodium falciparum (Pf), the deadliest form of the parasite, or by the widespread Plasmodium vivax (Pv). Whereas the PNP enzyme from Pf has previously been studied

Enhanced discovery of bacterial laccase‐like multicopper oxidase through computer simulation and metagenomic analysis of industrial wastewater

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1090-1102, July 2025.
We obtained potential bacterial laccase‐like multicopper oxidase (LMCO) sequences through metagenomic sequencing. All sequences exhibited significant differences from known LMCOs in databases. To select the most promising candidates, we performed structure prediction and molecular docking using alphafold2, metal3d and rosetta.

Evaluating antitumor activity of Escherichia coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase against head and neck patient‐derived xenografts

open access: yesCancer Reports, 2023
Background Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) gene transfer represents a promising approach to treatment of head and neck malignancies. We tested recombinant adenovirus already in phase I/II clinical testing and leading‐edge patient‐derived xenografts

Synthesis and enzymatic evaluation of the guanosine analogue 2-amino-6-mercapto-7-methylpurine ribonucleoside (MESG): insights into the phosphorolysis reaction mechanism based on the blueprint transition state: SN1 or SN2? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A modified experimental procedure for the synthesis of MESG (2-amino-6-mercapto-7-methylpurine ribonucleoside) 1 has been successfully performed and its full characterization is presented.
