متن کاملInhibition and structure of Toxoplasma gondii purine nucleoside phosphorylase.
The intracellular pathogen Toxoplasma gondii is a purine auxotroph that relies on purine salvage for proliferation. We have optimized T. gondii purine nucleoside phosphorylase (TgPNP) stability and crystallized TgPNP with phosphate and immucillin-H, a transition-state analogue that has high affinity for the enzyme. Immucillin-H bound to TgPNP with a dissociation constant of 370 pM, the highest ...
متن کاملStructural Determinants of the 5′-Methylthioinosine Specificity of Plasmodium Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase
Plasmodium parasites rely upon purine salvage for survival. Plasmodium purine nucleoside phosphorylase is part of the streamlined Plasmodium purine salvage pathway that leads to the phosphorylysis of both purines and 5'-methylthiopurines, byproducts of polyamine synthesis. We have explored structural features in Plasmodium falciparum purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PfPNP) that affect efficienc...
متن کاملTriazole-based compound as a candidate to develop novel medicines to treat toxoplasmosis.
This article reports anti-Toxoplasma gondii activity of 3-(thiophen-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole-5-thione. The compound displayed significant and reproducible antiparasitic effects at nontoxic concentrations for the host cells, with an experimentally determined 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) at least 30 times better than that of the known chemotherapeutic agent sulfadiazine. Purine nucleoside phos...
متن کاملUptake of nitrobenzylthioinosine and purine beta-L-nucleosides by intracellular Toxoplasma gondii.
Intracellular Toxoplasma gondii grown in human foreskin fibroblast cells transported nitrobenzylthioinosine [NBMPR; 6-[(4-nitrobenzyl)mercapto]-9-beta-D-ribofuranosylpurine], an inhibitor of nucleoside transport in mammalian cells, as well as the nonphysiological beta-L-enantiomers of purine nucleosides, beta-L-adenosine, beta-L-deoxyadenosine, and beta-L-guanosine. The beta-L-pyrimidine nucleo...
