Sustainable Flow‐Synthesis of (Bulky) Nucleoside Drugs by a Novel and Highly Stable Nucleoside Phosphorylase Immobilized on Reusable Supports

ChemSusChem, 2021
The continuous synthesis of valuable nucleoside drugs was achieved in up to 99 % conversion by using a novel halotolerant purine nucleoside phosphorylase from Halomonas elongata (HePNP).

The Influence of Schwann Cell Metabolism and Dysfunction on Axon Maintenance

Glia, EarlyView.
Sensory neurons depend on Schwann cells for survival. Schwann cells provide energy for axons during rapid firing or after injury. Dysregulated metabolism in Schwann cells can lead to the production of neurotoxic lipids and axon degeneration. ABSTRACT Schwann cells are the glial cells in the peripheral nervous system responsible for the production of ...

Structure of grouper iridovirus purine nucleoside phosphorylase [PDF]

Acta Crystallographica Section D Biological Crystallography, 2010
Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of purine ribonucleosides to the corresponding free bases and ribose 1-phosphate. The crystal structure of grouper iridovirus PNP (givPNP), corresponding to the first PNP gene to be found in a virus, was determined at 2.4 Å resolution.

Purine Molecular Interactions Determine Anisotropic Shape of Zebrafish Biogenic Crystals

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Many organisms self‐organize crystals for vision, pigmentation, or storage. In zebrafish, iridophores produce anisotropic crystals in iridosomes. Using imaging and genetic tools, crystal growth is shown to favor the b‐axis, shaped by guanine‐to‐hypoxanthine ratios and hydrogen bonding resulting thereof.

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

, 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].

First‐in‐class inhibitors of SbnA reduce siderophore production in Staphylococcus aureus

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The production of the iron‐chelating compound staphyloferrin B by the most invasive S. aureus strains is crucial for colonization, virulence, and survival in the host. Staphyloferrin B biosynthesis is carried out by eight enzymes, the Sbn system, that offer an appealing source of potential targets for the development of antimicrobials.

Metabolic Stress‐Induced Choline Kinase α (CHKA) Activation in Endothelial Subpopulation Contributes to Diabetes‐Associated Microvascular Dysfunction

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 33, September 4, 2025.
This study uncovers CHKA as a pivotal driver of vascular dysfunction in diabetic retinopathy and highlights its role in endothelial dysfunction through NAD⁺‐SIRT1‐Notch signaling. Single‐cell and functional analyses, combined with clinical and genetic validation, suggest CHKA as a promising therapeutic target for the prevention and treatment of ...

Role of the human concentrative nucleoside transporter (hCNT1) in the cytotoxic action of 5[Prime]-deoxy-5-fluorouridine, an active intermediate metabolite of capecitabine, a novel oral anticancer drug. [PDF]

, 2001
We attempt to identify the plasma membrane transporter involved in the uptake of 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR), an intermediate metabolite of capecitabine.

Insights into phosphate cooperativity and influence of substrate modifications on binding and catalysis of hexameric purine nucleoside phosphorylases. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The hexameric purine nucleoside phosphorylase from Bacillus subtilis (BsPNP233) displays great potential to produce nucleoside analogues in industry and can be exploited in the development of new anti-tumor gene therapies.

N‐ to C‐Glycoside Rearrangement of Uridine 5′‐Phosphate in Two Enzymatic Steps for the Production of Pseudouridine 5′‐Phosphate

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 122, Issue 9, Page 2456-2464, September 2025.
The authors present a streamlined cascade reaction for one‐pot N‐C rearrangement of uridine‐5′‐phosphate (UMP) to pseudouridine‐5′‐phosphate (ΨMP; a key mRNA vaccine building block), in two enzymatic steps catalyzed by UMP nucleosidase (EC 3.2.2.10) and ΨMP C‐glycosidase (EC 4.2.1.70).
