The purine nucleoside phosphorylase pnp-1 regulates epithelial cell resistance to infection in C. elegans.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2021
Intestinal epithelial cells are subject to attack by a diverse array of microbes, including intracellular as well as extracellular pathogens. While defense in epithelial cells can be triggered by pattern recognition receptor-mediated detection of microbe-

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase enables dual metabolic checkpoints that prevent T cell immunodeficiency and TLR7-associated autoimmunity

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2022
Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) enables the breakdown and recycling of guanine nucleosides. PNP insufficiency in humans is paradoxically associated with both immunodeficiency and autoimmunity, but the mechanistic basis for these outcomes is ...

Efficient Synthesis of Purine Nucleoside Analogs by a New Trimeric Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase from Aneurinibacillus migulanus AM007

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
Purine nucleoside phosphorylases (PNPs) are promising biocatalysts for the synthesis of purine nucleoside analogs. Although a number of PNPs have been reported, the development of highly efficient enzymes for industrial applications is still in high ...

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase inhibition ameliorates age-associated lower urinary tract dysfunctions

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2020
In the aging population, lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction is common and often leads to storage and voiding difficulties classified into overlapping symptom syndromes.

Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase Deficiency

open access: yesAtlas of Inherited Metabolic Diseases, 2009
People with purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency have low numbers of immune system cells called T cells, which normally recognize and attack foreign invaders to prevent infection.

Partial Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase Deficiency Helps Determine Minimal Activity Required for Immune and Neurological Development

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Introduction: Complete or near complete absence of the purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) enzyme causes a profound T cell immunodeficiency and neurological abnormalities that are often lethal in infancy and early childhood.

Structural determinants of the 5'-methylthioinosine specificity of Plasmodium purine nucleoside phosphorylase. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Cloning and expression of recombinant purine nucleoside phosphorylase in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Biotechnology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2023
Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase (PNP) is an enzyme involved in biosynthetic pathway of purine nucleosides. Purine nucleoside phosphorylase catalyzes the cleavage of the glycosidic bond of ribo- or deoxyribonucleosides to form the purine base and ...
