Purification and properties of a nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase from red cells of the rabbit.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase has been isolated from rabbit reticulocytes. The enzyme has been pursed over 2000-fold from the cell lysate. Isolation and analysis procedures are described. The enzyme has been shown to catalyze the hydrolysis of ITP to yield IMP and PPi. Other substrates are dITP, XTP, and, to a lesser extent GTP, dGTP, UTP, and dTJTP. ATP, dATP, CTP, and dCTP are not hydrolyzed. The activity of this enzyme in reticulocytes of the rabbit is approximately six times greater per mg of protein than in erythrocytes. Activity comparable to that of rabbit erythrocytes has also been found in human erythrocytes.

The product of the Escherichia coli orf17 gene is a novel nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase with a preference for dATP over the other canonical (deoxy)nucleoside triphosphates, and it catalyzes the hydrolysis of dATP through a nucleophilic attack at the beta-phosphorus to produce dAMP and inorganic pyrophosphate. It has a pH optimum between 8.5 and 9.0, a divalent metal ion requireme...
متن کاملMazG, a nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase, interacts with Era, an essential GTPase in Escherichia coli.
Era is an essential GTPase in Escherichia coli, and Era has been implicated in a number of cellular functions. Homologues of Era have been identified in various bacteria and some eukaryotes. Using the era gene as bait in the yeast two-hybrid system to screen E. coli genomic libraries, we discovered that Era interacts with MazG, a protein of unknown function which is highly conserved among bacte...

Phosphoribosyl-ATP pyrophosphohydrolase is the second enzyme in the histidine-biosynthetic pathway, irreversibly hydrolyzing phosphoribosyl-ATP to phosphoribosyl-AMP and pyrophosphate. It is encoded by the hisE gene, which is present as a separate gene in many bacteria and archaea but is fused to hisI in other bacteria, fungi and plants. Because of its essentiality for growth in vitro, HisE is ...

Acyclovir (9-[2-hydroxyethoxymethyl] guanine) is an acyclic nucleoside analogue of guanosine which is a potent and selective antiviral agent. Acycloviris converted to the monophosphate by thymidine kinase the virus-specific form of this enzyme and is subsequently converted to the triphosphate by the host cell kinase. Acyclovir triphosphate inhibits viral DNA-polymerase terminating the chain...

Human pyrimidine nucleoside monophosphate kinase is a polymorphic enzyme having two allelic gene products, UMPK 1 and UMPK 2, in several populations. A procedure is described for the partial purification of this enzyme from human red blood cells resulting in a 1500-fold purification of the enzyme for UMPK 1 and 583-fold for UMPK 2. The purified enzyme preparation catalyzed the phosphorylation o...
