Crystal Structure of Sus scrofa Quinolinate Phosphoribosyltransferase in Complex with Nicotinate Mononucleotide
We have determined the crystal structure of porcine quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase (QAPRTase) in complex with nicotinate mononucleotide (NAMN), which is the first crystal structure of a mammalian QAPRTase with its reaction product. The structure was determined from protein obtained from the porcine kidney. Because the full protein sequence of porcine QAPRTase was not available in either ...
متن کاملThe Salmonella typhimurium nadC gene: sequence determination by use of Mud-P22 and purification of quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase.
The Salmonella typhimurium nadC gene and its product, quinolinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase (QAPRTase), were characterized at the molecular and biochemical levels. Fusions of Mud-lac elements isolated in the nadC gene were converted to Mud-P22 insertions. Starting with six original Mud-lac fusions, the entire sequence of the nadC gene was readily obtained. The sequence shows a long open rea...
متن کاملStructural Insights into the Quaternary Catalytic Mechanism of Hexameric Human Quinolinate Phosphoribosyltransferase, a Key Enzyme in de novo NAD Biosynthesis
Quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase (QPRT) catalyses the production of nicotinic acid mononucleotide, a precursor of de novo biosynthesis of the ubiquitous coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. QPRT is also essential for maintaining the homeostasis of quinolinic acid in the brain, a possible neurotoxin causing various neurodegenerative diseases. Although QPRT has been extensively analys...
متن کاملHuman Hypoxanthine Phosphoribosyltransferase
Hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (inosine monophosphate: pyrophosphate phosphoribosyltransferase EC 2.4.2.8) has been purified SO-fold from an acid-treated lysate of human erythrocytes. The average particle weight of the enzyme was estimated by gel filtration at 60,000. Between the pH values of 7.1 and 9.1 no marked difference in the initial velocity of IMP synthesis was observed. Kinetic...
متن کاملNicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase in Sepsis
The word sepsis was derived from the Greek word: sêpsis, which means the state of putrefaction or decay. Sepsis is a potentially deadly medical condition that is characterized by a whole-body inflammatory state, called a systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and the presence of a known or suspected infection. The more critical subsets of sepsis are severe sepsis with acute organ dysfunction,...
