Historical background As early as 1965 it was proposed that in addition to the well-established second messengers, cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP, the cyclic pyrimidine nucleotides, cyclic CMP (cCMP) and cyclic UMP (cUMP) could play a role as second messenger molecules. This hypothesis was based on the identification of cCMPand cUMP-hydrolyzing phosphodiesterase (PDE) activities in mammalian tissues...

L-nucleoside analogues such as lamivudine are active for treating viral infections. Like D-nucleosides, the biological activity of the L-enantiomers requires their stepwise phosphorylation by cellular or viral kinases to give the triphosphate. The enantioselectivity of NMP kinases has not been thoroughly studied, unlike that of deoxyribonucleoside kinases. We have therefore investigated the cap...

PyrH is a member of the UMP kinase family that catalyses the conversion of UMP to UDP, an essential step in the pyrimidine metabolic pathway in a variety of bacteria including those causing community-acquired respiratory tract infections (RTIs). In this study, we have developed a luminescence-based kinase assay of PyrH and evaluated the inhibitory activity of PYRH-1 (sodium {3-[4-tert-butyl-3-(...

In traditional Embedded Control Technology courses, students learn to develop assembly language programs to control peripherals, handle interrupts, and perform I/O operations. However, students find the subject are diffcult as the subject is presented in a lecture format. Unfortunetly, this Embedded Controller Technology (ECT) course is a compulsory course in any electrical or electronic field ...

Pyrimidine nucleotide-sensitive phosphoinositidase C activity (PLC), previously identified in frog semicircular canal ampulla, was pharmacologically characterized. Binding of [(3)H]UTP and abilities of unlabeled nucleotide analogs to inhibit binding and to stimulate PLC in myo-[(3)H]inositol-loaded ampullas were determined. Specific [(3)H]UTP binding was competitively inhibited by UTP [apparent...

5-Hydroxyuridine triphosphate was synthesized and its effectiveness as substrate for deoxyribonucleic acid-dependent ribonucleic acid polymerase was determined. The analogue was incorporated into RNA to a very low extent as compared to naturally occurring nucleoside triphosphates, and it replaced uridine triphosphate to a much greater extent than any of the other nucleoside triphosphates. The a...

We report a modified synthesis for 5-mercapto-UTP (5-SH-UTP) and its use for analysis of protein-RNA interactions utilizing Escherichia coli and T7 RNA polymerases and yeast RNA polymerases I and III. 5-SH-UTP did not affect transcriptional pausing, Rho-independent termination or recognition of the E. coli transcription complex by NusA. RNA containing 5-SH-UMP did not crosslink to polymerase wh...

Official Method 2011.21 is for the quantitation of the following nucleotides: adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP), guanosine 5'-monophosphate (GMP), uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP), cytidine 5'-monophosphate (CMP), and inosine 5'-monophosphate (IMP) in infant formula and adult/pediatric nutritional formula. It uses hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC-M...
