Purine nucleotide reutilization by human lymphoblast lines with aberrations of the inosinate cycle.
A purine nucleotide (inosinate) cycle is demonstrated with human lymphoblasts. The lymphoblast requires approximately 50 nmol of purine/10(6) cell increment. When the inosinate cycle is interrupted by the genetic, severe deficiency of either or both purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) or hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT), purine accumulates in the culture medium as inosine, guanos...
متن کاملThe Purine Nucleotide Cycle
Linked oscillations of the glycolytic pathway and the purine nucleotide cycle were studied in particle-free extracts of rat skeletal muscle. Under the conditions used, an accumulation of about 1 pM fructose diphosphate can trigger a sudden increase in phosphofructokinase activity. The activation by fructose diphosphate depends on the presence of AMP. When the AMP concentration drops, phosphofru...
متن کاملThe purine nucleotide cycle and ammoniagenesis in rat kidney tubules.
The contribution of the purine nucleotide cycle to renal ammoniagenesis was examined in cortical tubule suspensions prepared from acidotic rats and incubated with [alpha-15N]glutamine, [15N]glutamate, or [15N]aspartate. Labeling of ammonia and adenine nucleotides was determined after enzymatic transformations designed to circumvent the technical problem that 15NH3 and H2O have the same nominal ...
متن کاملVitamin C deficiency activates the purine nucleotide cycle in zebrafish.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid, AA) is a cofactor for many important enzymatic reactions and a powerful antioxidant. AA provides protection against oxidative stress by acting as a scavenger of reactive oxygen species, either directly or indirectly by recycling of the lipid-soluble antioxidant, α-tocopherol (vitamin E). Only a few species, including humans, guinea pigs, and zebrafish, cannot synthesiz...
متن کاملSelective expression of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase superactivity in human lymphoblast lines.
Phenotypic expression of 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) synthetase superactivity was examined in lymphoblast lines derived from six unrelated male patients. Fibroblasts from these individuals have increased rates of PRPP and purine nucleotide synthesis and express four classes of kinetic derangement underlying enzyme superactivity: increased maximal reaction velocity (catalytic defect)...
