Study of Purine Metabolism

چکیده
A B S T R A C T A case of xanthinuria is briefly described, and the results of in vivo studies with 4C-labeled oxypurines are discussed. The data demonstrate that the rate of the turnover of uric acid is normal, despite an extremely small uric acid pool. Xanthine and hypoxanthine pools were measured and their metabolism evaluated. The bulk of the daily pool of 276 mg of xanthine, but only 6% of the 960 mg of hypoxanthine, is excreted. Thus, xanthine appears to be a metabolic end product, whereas hypoxanthine is an active intermediate. Biochemical implications of this finding are discussed.

Although many tracer studies on the purine metabolism of higher organisms have been reported, there are only preliminary data (1, 2) on the purine metabolism of Escherichiu coli, strain B, the host of the “T series” of bacteriophages. The work presented in this paper was undertaken concomitantly with an investigation of the purine metabolism of the virusinfected cell (3). The study of the purin...

Purines are molecules essential for many cell processes, including RNA and DNA synthesis, regulation of enzyme activity, protein synthesis and function, energy metabolism and transfer, essential coenzyme function, and cell signaling. Purines are produced via the de novo purine biosynthesis pathway. Mutations in purine biosynthetic genes, for example phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase/phos...

The enzymatic reactions responsible for the interconversion of purine nucleotides and for the biosynthesis of the imidazole ring of histidine in bacteria have been described previously (4-7). This study of the isolated enzymes not only revealed the chemical nature of the reactions but also suggested mechanisms for their regulation. The study of purine metabolism described in the present paper w...
