An in vitro System for Studying Pteridine Biosynthesis In Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesPteridines, 1991
In vitro organ culture is a system especially useful for the study of metabolic pathways and their regulation. This report applies such a system to the study of the biosynthesis of pteridines in Drosophila melanogaster, determining in vitro optimal ...

Some opportunities of using xanthine oxidase inhibitors

open access: yesСовременная ревматология, 2019
The review presents modern concepts of the role of xanthine oxidase (XO) in the pathogenesis of a number of diseases. It has been shown that XO activity can be associated with the development and progression not only of gout, but, possibly, diabetes ...

Irreversible conversion of xanthine dehydrogenase into xanthine oxidase by a mitochondrial protease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1999
Irreversible conversion of xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) to its oxygen free radical producing oxidase (XO) form occurs through an uncharacterized proteolytic process, which was studied in human liver. Upon incubation of fresh unfrozen liver cytosol, XDH remained intact. When recombinant human XDH was coincubated with subcellular fractions of human liver,

Discriminating Susceptibility of Xanthine Oxidoreductase Family to Metals

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
The xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) family are metal-containing enzymes that use the molybdenum cofactor (Moco), 2Fe-2S clusters, and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) for their catalytic activity.

Gene Location for Molybdenum Cofactor Deficiency

open access: yesPediatric Neurology Briefs, 1998
Linkage of a molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCoD) gene to an 8-cM region on chromosome 6p21.3 has been localized by homozygosity mapping in 2 consanguineous affected kindreds of Israeli-Arab origin, including 5 patients, at the Department of Genetics ...

Xanthine dehydrogenase is transported to the Drosophila eye. [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 1989
Abstract The rosy (ry) locus in Drosophila melanogaster codes for the enzyme xanthine dehydrogenase. Mutants that have no enzyme activity are characterized by a brownish eye color phenotype reflecting a deficiency in the red eye pigment.

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.
