Stimulation of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate and purine nucleotide production by pyrroline 5-carboxylate in human erythrocytes.
Recent studies have shown that pyrroline 5-carboxylate, the intermediate in the interconversions of proline, ornithine, and glutamate, can regulate the metabolism of erythrocytes. We now report that the formation of 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate (PP-Rib-P) was markedly stimulated by pyrroline 5-carboxylate in intact red cells. The production of PP-Rib-P is an important point of regulation in...
متن کاملThe effect of pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid on nucleotide metabolism in erythrocytes from normal and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient subjects.
Pyrroline-5-carboxylate, the intermediate in the interconversion of proline, ornithine, and glutamate, increases 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate (PP-ribose-P) and purine nucleotide formation in intact human erythrocytes. We proposed that: 1) pyrroline-5-carboxylate is converted to proline by pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase with concomitant oxidation of NADPH, 2) NADP+ augments glucose-6-phos...
متن کاملArginylation regulates purine nucleotide biosynthesis by enhancing the activity of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase
Protein arginylation is an emerging post-translational modification that targets a number of metabolic enzymes; however, the mechanisms and downstream effects of this modification are unknown. Here we show that lack of arginylation renders cells vulnerable to purine nucleotide synthesis inhibitors and affects the related glycine and serine biosynthesis pathways. We show that the purine nucleoti...
متن کاملRegulation of 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate and of hypoxanthine uptake and release in human erythrocytes by oxypurine cycling.
Uptake and release of purines by red blood cells has been shown to be markedly sensitive to changes in pH, inorganic phosphate (Pi), and oxygen concentration (Berman, P., Black, D., Human, L., and Harley, E. (1988) J. Clin. Invest. 82, 980-986). The mechanism of this regulation has been further studied. We have shown that incubation of red cells in medium containing xanthine oxidase rapidly and...
متن کاملPurification, characterization, and crystallization of human pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase.
Pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase (P5CR) catalyzes the reduction of Delta1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) to proline with concomitant oxidation of NAD(P)H to NAD(P)(+). The enzymatic cycle between P5C and proline is very important in many physiological and pathological processes. Human P5CR was over-expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity by chromatography. Enzymatic assays of ...
