متن کاملHuman Adenine Phosphoribosyltransferase
Human adenine phosphoribosyltransferase has been purified 33,000-fold from erythrocytes to a specific activity of 9.58 pmoles of AMP formed per mg of protein per min. The native enzyme has a molecular weight of 34,000 and is composed of three subunits of equal molecular weight which appear to be associated by noncovalent forces. The highly purified enzyme is maximally active over a broad pH ran...
متن کاملKinetic studies of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase.
The mechanism of reaction of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells was investigated kinetically by initial velocity and product inhibition studies. The data are consistent with a mechanism in which 5-phosphoribosylpyrophosphate reacts with the enzyme to form an intermediate, presumably an enzyme-ribose 5-phosphate complex, with which adenine then reacts to form aden...
متن کاملAdenine phosphoribosyltransferase-deficient mice develop 2,8-dihydroxyadenine nephrolithiasis.
Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) deficiency in humans is an autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by the urinary excretion of adenine and the highly insoluble compound 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (DHA) that can produce kidney stones or renal failure. Targeted homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells was used to produce mice that lack APRT. Mice homozygous for a null Aprt allele ex...
متن کاملAdenine Phosphoribosyltransferase from Monkey Liver
The structural requirements for the binding of purines to adenine phosphoribosyltransferase from monkey liver were explored by the determination of the K; values for 67 purines and purine analogues. Adenine was bound 40 times better than the most effectively bound analogues. Substitutions on the 6-amino group of adenine decreased binding to varying degrees. The hydroxylaminoand hydrazinopurines...
