Summary 2,8-Dihydroxyadenine urolithiasis associated with partial deficiencies of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) has been found only among Japanese families. All Caucasian patients with the same lithiasis are completely deficient in this enzyme. Partially purified APRT from one of the Japanese families with the lithiasis associated with a partial deficiency of APRT had a reduced affinity for 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP). In the present investigations, we have shown that this characteristic is common in mutant enzymes from all the four separate Japanese urolithiasis families associated with partial APRT deficiencies so far tested. The mutant enzymes also had several other characteristics in common including increased resistance to heat in the absence of PRPP and reduced sensitivity to the stabilizing effect of PRPP. These data suggest that these families have a common mutant allele (APRT

We have studied adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) in the hemolysates from the families of 2,8-dihydroxyadenine urolithiasis associated with partial deficiency of APRT (the Japanese type) and complete deficiency of APRT (the null type). The APRT in the control subjects was found to be heat-stable at the physiological concentration of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP), which was close to the value of its Km for PRPP. The APRT in the Japanese type showed 10 times higher Km values for PRPP and needed a comparably increased level of PRPP for stability in vitro. No change in red cell PRPP was found in the Japanese type of APRT deficiency. The content of APRT enzyme protein was decreased in the hemolysates of the Japanese type, probably due to its lability at the level of PRPP present in the cells. The heterozygote of the null type also had labile enzyme molecules at the physiological PRPP concentration. 相似文献

Summary Homozygous deficiency of a purine salvage enzyme, adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT), causes urolithiasis and renal failure. There are two known types of homozygous APRT deficiencies; type I patients completely lack APRT activity while type II patients only partially lack such activity. All type II patients possess at lest one APRT*J allele with a substitution from ATG (Met) to ACG (Thr) at codon 136. Type I patients are considered to possess two alleles (APRT*Q0) both of which code for complete deficiencies. Thus, some patients with type II APRT deficiencies may have a genotype of APRT*J/APRT*Q0. As no individuals with such a genotype have previously been identified, we performed extensive analysis on four members of a family by (1) the T-cell method for the identification of a homozygote, (2) the B-cell method for the identification of heterozygotes, and (3) oligonucleotide hybridization after in vitro amplification of a part of genomic APRT sequence for the identification of APRT*J and nonAPRT*J alleles. We report here the first evidence that 2,8-dihydroxyadenine urolithiasis developed in a boy aged 2 years with a genotype of APRT*J/APRT*Q0. 相似文献

All reported cases of 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (DHA) lithiasis have been due to functional homozygous deficiency of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT). Here we describe the first case of DHA lithiasis in a patient who has functional APRT activity in cultured lymphoblasts. The patient is heterozygous for Japanese-type (type II) APRT deficiency as demonstrated by starch-gel electrophoresis and DNA sequence analysis. We also demonstrate the use of starch-gel electrophoresis for differentiation between the type II mutant enzyme and the wild-type enzyme. 相似文献

Patients with 2,8-dihydroxyadenine urolithiasis are either completely or partially deficient in adenine phosphoribosyltransferase activities. Patients with partial enzyme deficiencies, all of whom have been found among Japanese, are homozygotes having a unique mutant adenine phosphoribosyltransferase gene (APRT*J) in double dose (Japanese type deficiency). We have established B-cell lines from heterozygotes and homozygotes of complete and Japanese type adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiencies as well as normal individuals. Characterization of the cell lines indicated that all homozygous cells were deficient in adenine phosphoribosyltransferase function while all heterozygous and normal cells had functional adenine phosphoribosyltransferase. 相似文献

Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase from the protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani has been crystallized in the presence of the substrate Mg2+-α-D -5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) or the product adenosine-5-monophosphate, as well as in the absence of ligand. These crystals belong to the space group P6122 or its enantiomorph P6522, with unit cell dimensions of a = b = 64.0 Å, c = 240.5 Å, α = β = 90°, and γ = 120°. The crystals diffract to 1.9 Å. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Two electrophoretic variants of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) were identified in a population of wild mice (Mus musculus bactrianus). Breeding tests demonstrated that the APRT variants are under the control of two alleles at an autosomal locus designatedAprt. We have examined the linkage relationships betweenAprt and the markers of chromosome 8 including esterase-1 and the centromere. The recombination distance between the centromere andAprt is 44 ± 7 cM, and that betweenEs-1 andAprt is 25 ± 2 cM, i.e., the probable order of the markers examined is cen-Es-1-Aprt on chromosome 8. 相似文献

Characterization of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase from the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Because of their inability to synthesize purines de novo, malaria parasites rely on purine phosphoribosyltransferases (PRTases) to convert purine bases salvaged from the host cell (the erythrocyte) into the corresponding purine nucleoside monophosphates. Our studies with late trophozoites of the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, showed that virtually all of the purine PRTase activity is accounted for by two distinct enzymes. One enzyme utilizes hypoxanthine, guanine and xanthine (Queen, S.A., Vander Jagt, D. and Reyes, P. (1988) Mol. Biochem. Parasitol. 30, 123-134). The second enzyme utilizes only adenine and is the subject of this paper. This latter enzyme exhibits a biphasic pH-activity profile and is moderately to weakly inhibited by several divalent metal ions. Several of the properties of the P. falciparum enzyme were found to differ significantly from those of human erythrocyte adenine PRTase. (1) The molecular weight (18,000) of the parasite enzyme is smaller than that of the host cell enzyme. (2) The parasite enzyme, unlike the erythrocyte enzyme, is not significantly inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents. (3) 6-Mercaptopurine and 2,6-diaminopurine proved to be competitive inhibitors of the parasite enzyme (Ki 0.70 and 1.0 mM, respectively); on the other hand, the human enzyme is not inhibited by these agents. (4) The Km for adenine (0.80 microM) and 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (0.70 microM) displayed by the parasite enzyme are significantly smaller than the corresponding Km values shown by the erythrocyte enzyme. These distinctions between the parasite and host enzymes point to the possibility that adenine PRTase of P. falciparum may represent a potential target for chemotherapeutic attack. 相似文献

We defined the amino acid sequence of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase isolated from human erythrocytes. Peptide fragments formed by cleavage at arginine, lysine, glutamic acid, and methionine were purified by high pressure liquid chromatography and sequenced by manual Edman degradation. The complete primary structure of human adenine phosphoribosyltransferase was established by sequence analysis of 19 peptide fragments. Presumed homology between the human and rodent enzymes was used to order fragments that had inadequate overlapping sequences. The enzyme has 179 residues with a calculated subunit molecular weight of 19,481. Mass spectrometry indicated that the NH2-terminal residue is acetylated. Human adenine phosphoribosyltransferase has sequence homology with xanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase from Escherichia coli in 110-amino acid region encompassing the NH2-terminal section of the enzyme. 相似文献

1. The progress curves of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase and of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase activity plotted against 5-phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate concentration were hyperbolic in nature. The inhibition of the former enzyme by AMP and GMP and of the latter enzyme by IMP and GMP showed completely competitive characteristics. 2. The effect of temperature on the reaction of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase and of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase was examined. The energy of activation of the former enzyme decreased at temperatures greater than 27 degrees and that of the latter enzyme at temperatures greater than 23 degrees . For each enzyme, the change in the heat of formation of the 5-phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate-enzyme complex at the critical temperature was approximately equal to the change in the energy of activation but was in the opposite direction. The inhibitor constants with both enzymes in the presence of nucleotides varied in different ways with temperature from the Michaelis constants for 5-phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate indicating that different functional groups were involved in binding substrates and inhibitors. 3. ATP was found to stimulate adenine-phosphoribosyltransferase activity at concentrations less than about 250mum and to inhibit the enzyme at concentrations greater than 250mum. The stimulation was unaffected by 5-phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate concentration but the inhibitory effect could be overcome by increasing concentrations of this compound. At low concentrations ATP reversed the inhibition of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase by AMP and GMP to an extent dependent on their concentration. 4. The properties of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase changed markedly on purification. Crude extracts of ascites-tumour cells had Michaelis constants for 5-phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate and adenine 75 and six times as high respectively as those obtained with purified enzyme. ATP had no stimulatory effect on activity of the purified enzyme or on that of crude extracts heated 15min. or longer at 55 degrees . 5. It is suggested that at low concentrations ATP is bound to an ;activator' site which is separate from the substrate binding site of adenine phosphorytransferase and that at high concentrations ATP competes with 5-phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate at the active site of the enzyme. 相似文献

Genomic libraries of Plasmodium falciparum were constructed in the pBR322 plasmid. Using the DNA-mediated gene transfer technique, the genomic libraries were introduced into tissue-cultured mouse cells lacking the enzyme adenine phosphoribosyltransferase. Following selection for the adenine phosphoribosyltransferse phenotype, several colonies were isolated. All clones were shown to possess adenine phosphoribosyltransferase activity and pBR322 sequences. In addition, the Km value of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (for adenine) from a transformant was found to be identical to that from P. falciparum. These results indicate that the adenine phosphoribosyltransferase gene of P. falciparum was successfully cloned and expressed in a mammalian system. 相似文献

Polymorphism of electrophoretic mobility of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) was found in a population of domestic mice, Mus musculus bactrianus. The Aprt gene was mapped using two markers: plasma esterase 1 coded by the gene Es-1 situated at the distance of 26 morgans from the centromere, and a Robertsonian translocation Rb (8.17) 1 Iem which marks the centromere. The results of linkage analysis permitted to localize the gene Aprt at 51 morgans from the centromere, and 25 morgans distal from the gene Es-1 on the genetic map of chromosome 8. It is found that emotional stress does not alter the recombination rate at chromosome 8, when spermatocytes are at the pachytene stage. 相似文献

Novel 2,8-disubstituted adenosine derivatives were synthesized in good overall yields starting from 2-iodoadenosine. Binding affinities were determined for rat adenosine A(1) and A(2A) receptors and human A(3) receptors. Some compounds displayed good adenosine A(2A) receptor affinities, with most of the 2-(1-hexynyl)- and 2-[(E)-1-hexenyl]-substituted derivatives having K(i) values in the nanomolar range. Although the introduction of an 8-alkylamino substituents decreased the affinity for the adenosine A(2A) receptor somewhat, the selectivity for this receptor compared to A(3) was improved significantly. The 8-methylamino (12) and 8-propylamino (14) derivatives of 2-(1-hexynyl)adenosine (3), showed reasonable A(2A) receptor affinities with K(i) values of 115 and 82nM, respectively, and were 49- and 26-fold selective for the adenosine A(2A) receptor compared to the A(3) receptor. The compounds were also evaluated for their ability to stimulate the cAMP production in CHO cells expressing the human adenosine A(2A) receptor. 2-(1-Hexynyl)adenosine (3) and 2-[(E)-1-hexenyl]adenosine (4) both showed submaximal levels of produced cAMP, compared to the reference full agonist CGS 21680, and thus behaved as partial agonists. Most 8-alkylamino-substituted derivatives of 3, displayed similar cAMP production as 3, and behaved as partial agonists as well. Introduction of alkylamino groups at the 8-position of 4, showed a slight reduction of the efficacy compared to 4, and these compounds were partial agonists also. 相似文献

Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) is an important enzyme component of the purine recycling pathway. Parasitic protozoa of the order Kinetoplastida are unable to synthesize purines de novo and use the salvage pathway for the synthesis of purine bases rendering this biosynthetic pathway an attractive target for antiparasitic drug design. The recombinant human adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (hAPRT) structure was resolved in the presence of AMP in the active site to 1.76 A resolution and with the substrates PRPP and adenine simultaneously bound to the catalytic site to 1.83 A resolution. An additional structure was solved containing one subunit of the dimer in the apo-form to 2.10 A resolution. Comparisons of these three hAPRT structures with other 'type I' PRTases revealed several important features of this class of enzymes. Our data indicate that the flexible loop structure adopts an open conformation before and after binding of both substrates adenine and PRPP. Comparative analyses presented here provide structural evidence to propose the role of Glu104 as the residue that abstracts the proton of adenine N9 atom before its nucleophilic attack on the PRPP anomeric carbon. This work leads to new insights to the understanding of the APRT catalytic mechanism. 相似文献
