Dissecting the unique nucleotide specificity of mimivirus nucleoside diphosphate kinase.
The analysis of the Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus genome revealed the first virus-encoded nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK), an enzyme that is central to the synthesis of RNA and DNA, ubiquitous in cellular organisms, and well conserved among the three domains of life. In contrast with the broad specificity of cellular NDKs for all types of ribo- and deoxyribonucleotides, the mimivirus enz...
متن کاملNucleoside ester prodrug substrate specificity of liver carboxylesterase.
Carboxylesterases are among the best characterized prodrug-hydrolyzing enzymes involved in the activation of several therapeutic carbamate and ester prodrugs. The broad specificity of these enzymes makes them amenable for designing prodrugs. Porcine liver carboxylesterase 1 specificity for amino acid esters of three nucleoside analogs [floxuridine, gemcitabine, and 2-bromo-5,6-dichloro-1-(beta-...
متن کاملExamining interactions of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase with single-stranded template nucleotides by nucleoside analog interference.
Crystallographic studies have implicated several residues of the p66 fingers subdomain of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 reverse transcriptase in contacting the single-stranded template overhang immediately ahead of the DNA polymerase catalytic center. This interaction presumably assists in inducing the appropriate geometry on the template base for efficient and accurate incorporation of t...
متن کاملMetabolism of Purine Nucleoside Analog&
ducing carcinostasis, with tumor cells resistant to thio guanine, has been suggested (9). The aand @9-anomers of 2'-deoxythioguanosine (TGDR) have been shown to be active against ascites tumors having either of two types of resistance to thioguanine (10). The kinases necessary for conversion of these nucleosides to nucleotides were apparently present in the tumor cell lines examined. How ever, ...
متن کاملSubstrate and Inhibitor Specificity of the Plasmodium berghei Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporter Type 1.
Malaria is a critical public health issue in the tropical world, causing extensive morbidity and mortality. Infection by unicellular, obligate intracellular Plasmodium parasites causes malaria. The emergence of resistance to current antimalarial drugs necessitates the development of novel therapeutics. A potential novel drug target is the purine import transporter. Because Plasmodium parasites ...
