YLR209c encodes Saccharomyces cerevisiae purine nucleoside phosphorylase.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The yeast YLR209c (PNP1) gene encodes a protein highly similar to purine nucleoside phosphorylases. This protein specifically metabolized inosine and guanosine. Disruption of PNP1 led to inosine and guanosine excretion in the medium, thus showing that PNP1 plays an important role in the metabolism of these purine nucleosides in vivo.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae URH1 (encoding uridine-cytidine N-ribohydrolase): functional complementation by a nucleoside hydrolase from a protozoan parasite and by a mammalian uridine phosphorylase.
Nucleoside hydrolases catalyze the cleavage of N-glycosidic bonds in nucleosides, yielding ribose and the respective bases. While nucleoside hydrolase activity has not been detected in mammalian cells, many protozoan parasites rely on nucleoside hydrolase activity for salvage of purines and/or pyrimidines from their hosts. In contrast, uridine phosphorylase is the key enzyme of pyrimidine salva...
متن کاملRegulation of purine nucleotide biosynthesis: in yeast and beyond.
Purine nucleotides are critically important for the normal functioning of cells due to their myriad of activities. It is important for cells to maintain a balance in the pool sizes of the adenine-containing and guanine-containing nucleotides, which occurs by a combination of de novo synthesis and salvage pathways that interconvert the purine nucleotides. This review describes the mechanism for ...
متن کاملPurification of a RAS-responsive adenylyl cyclase complex from Saccharomyces cerevisiae by use of an epitope addition method.
We developed a method for immunoaffinity purification of Saccharomyces cerevisiae adenylyl cyclase based on creating a fusion with a small peptide epitope. Using oligonucleotide technology to encode the peptide epitope we constructed a plasmid that expressed the fusion protein from the S. cerevisiae alcohol dehydrogenase promoter ADH1. A monoclonal antibody previously raised against the peptide...

2-Chloro-9-(2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-beta-d-arabinofuranosyl)adenine (Cl-F-ara-A, clofarabine), a purine nucleoside analog with structural similarity to 2-chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine (Cl-dAdo, cladribine) and 9-beta-d-arabinofuranosyl-2-fluoroadenine (F-ara-A, fludarabine), has activity in adult and pediatric leukemias. Mediated transport of the purine nucleoside analogs is believed to occur through the...
متن کاملControl of ATP homeostasis during the respiro-fermentative transition in yeast
Respiring Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells respond to a sudden increase in glucose concentration by a pronounced drop of their adenine nucleotide content ([ATP]+[ADP]+[AMP]=[AXP]). The unknown fate of 'lost' AXP nucleotides represented a long-standing problem for the understanding of the yeast's physiological response to changing growth conditions. Transient accumulation of the purine salvage pat...
