Specificity of Mouse Uridine Phosphorylase*
Two distinct pyrimidine nucleosidases, isolated from Escheri&a coli, show complete specificity for the pentose moiety of the nucleoside. Pyrimidine deoxyribonucleoside phosphorylase (1) shows complete specificity for the deoxyribosyl group, and uridine phosphorylase (2) for the ribosyl group. Mammalian uridine phosphorylase preparations (3, 4), however, have appreciable deoxyuridine phosphoryla...
متن کاملRedox regulation of methylthioadenosine phosphorylase in liver cells: molecular mechanism and functional implications.
MTAP (5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase) catalyses the reversible phosphorolytic cleavage of methylthioadenosine leading to the production of methylthioribose-1-phosphate and adenine. Deficient MTAP activity has been correlated with human diseases including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. In the present study we have investigated the regulation of MTAP by ROS (reactive oxygen species...
متن کاملStructural mechanism of disulphide bond - mediated redox
The oxidation of cysteine sulphydryl in proteins produces sulphenic acid that can form a reversible disulphide bond with another cysteine. The disulphide bond formation often triggers switches in protein structure and activity, especially when the distance between the two cysteine sulphur atoms is longer than the resulting disulphide bond distance. As an early example for the reversible disulph...
متن کاملStructural dissection of the reaction mechanism of cellobiose phosphorylase.
Cellobiose phosphorylase, a member of the glycoside hydrolase family 94, catalyses the reversible phosphorolysis of cellobiose into alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate and D-glucose with inversion of the anomeric configuration. The substrate specificity and reaction mechanism of cellobiose phosphorylase from Cellvibrio gilvus have been investigated in detail. We have determined the crystal structure of...
