Efficacy of neuroprotective treatment including pyrimidine nucleotides in secondary uveitic glaucoma
Background: Secondary glaucoma is found in 18% to 38% of patients with uveitis, and is one of the most severe uveitic complications. The glaucomatous process is characterized by the progressive optic nerve neuropathy. The lack of efficacy of conventional

Purine but Not Pyrimidine Nucleotides Support Rotation of F1-ATPase [PDF]
The binding change model for the F(1)-ATPase predicts that its rotation is intimately correlated with the changes in the affinities of the three catalytic sites for nucleotides. If so, subtle differences in the nucleotide structure may have pronounced effects on rotation. Here we show by single-molecule imaging that purine nucleotides ATP, GTP, and ITP

Catabolism of Pyrimidine Nucleotides in the Deep-sea Tube WormRiftia pachyptila [PDF]
The present study describes the distribution and properties of enzymes of the catabolic pathway of pyrimidine nucleotides in Riftia pachyptila, a tubeworm living around deep-sea hydrothermal vents and known to be involved in a highly specialized ...

Purine and pyrimidine nucleotide metabolism in Mollicutes [PDF]
Several mollicute genome projects are underway, offering unique opportunities to study genes and metabolic pathways on a genome-wide scale. Here, we have analyzed the conservation and diversity of purine and pyrimidine metabolism in mycoplasmas. An evaluation of discrepancies between genomic analysis and enzymatic data revealed interesting aspects ...

Molecular determinants of inhibition of UCP1-mediated respiratory uncoupling
Brown adipose tissue expresses uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), which dissipates energy as heat, making it a target for treating metabolic disorders. Here, we investigate how purine nucleotides inhibit respiration uncoupling by UCP1.

Nucleotides are the basic elements of the genetic material, participate in bio-energetic processes, are cofactors and components of secondary metabolites, etc. Nucleotide hydrolases (nucleotidases) are phosphatases that remove the 5'-phosphate group from
