Guanosine deaminase and guanine deaminase were partially purified from tea leaves. The optimum activity of guanosine deaminase was observed at pH 7.5 and that of guanine deaminase was at pH 7.0–7.5 and 8.5. Guanosine deaminase was an unstable enzyme. The activities of these deaminases were significantly inhibited by heavy metals. Molecular weights of guanosine deaminase and guanine deaminase as measured by gel filtration were about 18,000 and 54,000, respectively. The Km for the respective substrates, guanosine and guanine, were 9.5 μm and 41.7 μm. Guanosine deaminase was considered to catalyze the deamination of 2′-deoxyguanosine besides guanosine. It is suggested that guanosine deaminase as well as guanine deaminase in tea leaves not only acts on the catabolic pathway, but also is involved in the biosynthesis of caffeine from guanosine or guanine nucleotides. 相似文献

Metabolic fate of guanosine in higher plants 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
The aim of the present study was to investigate the metabolic fate of guanine nucleotides in higher plants. The rate of uptake of [8-14C]guanosine by suspension-cultured Catharanthus roseus cells was more than 20 times higher than that of [8-14C]guanine. The rate of uptake of [8-14C]guanosine increased with the age of the culture. Pulse-chase experiments with [8-14C]guanosine revealed that some of the guanosine that had been taken up by the cells was converted to guanine nucleotides and incorporated into nucleic acids. A significant amount of [8-14C]guanosine was degraded directly to xanthine, allantoin and allantoic acid, with the generation of 14CO2 as the final product. The rate of salvage of [8-14C]guanosine for the synthesis of nucleic acids was highest in young cells, while the rate of degradation increased with the age of the cells. In segments of roots from Vigna mungo seedlings, nearly 50% of the [8-14C]guanosine that had been absorbed over the course of 15 min was recovered in guanine nucleotides. A significant amount of the radioactivity in nucleotides became associated with nucleic acids and ureides during ‘chase’ periods. In segments of young leaves of Camellia sinensis, [8-14C]guanosine was initially incorporated into guanine nucleotides, nucleic acids, theobromine and ureides, and the radioactivity in these compounds was transferred to caffeine and CO2 during a 24-h incubation. Our results suggest that guanosine is an intermediate in the catabolism of guanine nucleotides and that it is re-utilised for nucleotide synthesis by ‘salvage’ reactions. Guanosine was catabolised by the conventional degradation pathway via xanthine and allantoin. In some plants, guanosine is also utilised for the formation of ureide or the biosynthesis of caffeine. 相似文献

Morris, George K. (University of Georgia, Athens), and William L. Williams. Inhibition of growth of Lactobacillus bulgaricus by purine deoxyribonucleotides. J. Bacteriol. 90:715-719. 1965.-An inhibition of growth of Lactobacillus bulgaricus GS was observed with deoxyadenylic acid and deoxyguanylic acid. Deoxynucleotides of cytosine, thymine, and uracil, and the deoxynucleosides of adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine were inactive as inhibitors. The inhibition was reversed by liver extract (a crude source of two unidentified growth factors for this organism). With suboptimal concentrations of liver extract, the inhibition was reversed by nucleotides of adenine, guanine, uracil, cytosine, and thymine. When the medium contained partially purified sources of the two growth factors rather than crude liver extract, fewer compounds reversed the inhibition. Adenylic acid and guanylic acid reversed the action of either inhibitor. Inosinic acid reversed inhibition caused by deoxyguanylic acid, but not that caused by deoxyadenylic acid. Thymidylic acid reversed inhibition caused by deoxyadenylic acid better than that caused by deoxyguanylic acid. Uridylic acid and cytidylic acid were no longer effective in reversing the inhibitions. This organism preferentially responded to monophosphorylated compounds as inhibitors and as reversers of inhibitions. Studies on the acid-soluble nucleotide pool revealed an accumulation of adenosine triphosphate, guanosine triphosphate, and an unidentified compound which resembled a nucleotide in its physical properties. These data cannot be explained by known metabolic pathways of nucleic acid biosynthesis. This organism responds differently from other related organisms to nucleic acid derivatives; therefore, it may be a new useful tool for studying nucleic acid metabolism and biosynthesis. 相似文献

By successive mutagenic treatments including transduction with bacteriophage SP–10, ultraviolet light irradiation and N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine treatments, a mutant, strain No. 322, capable of converting exogenously supplemented hypoxanthine or inosine to guanine and guanosine, was derived from an adenine-less, IMP-producing mutant of Bacillus subtilis IAM 1145. Strain No. 322 was an adenine-leaky mutant lacking GMP-reductase, adenase, and 5′-nucleotidase. The strain effectively accumulated guanine and guanosine in the culture fluid, when grown in the presence of hypoxanthine or inosine, while it failed to convert exogenously supplemented IMP to the guanine derivatives. 相似文献

Purine metabolism was studied in the obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia psittaci AA Mp in the wild type and a variety of mutant host cell lines with well-defined deficiencies in purine metabolism. C. psittaci AA Mp cannot synthesize purines de novo, as assessed by its inability to incorporate exogenous glycine into nucleic acid purines. C. psittaci AA Mp can take ATP and GTP, but not dATP or dGTP, directly from the host cell. Exogenous hypoxanthine and inosine were not utilized by the parasite. In contrast, exogenous adenine, adenosine, and guanine were directly salvaged by C. psittaci AA Mp. Crude extract prepared from highly purified C. psittaci AA Mp reticulate bodies contained adenine and guanine but no hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase activity. Adenosine kinase activity was detected, but guanosine kinase activity was not. There was no competition for incorporation into nucleic acid between adenine and guanine, and high-performance liquid chromatography profiles of radiolabelled nucleic acid nucleobases indicated that adenine, adenosine, and deoxyadenosine were incorporated only into adenine and that guanine, guanosine, and deoxyguanosine were incorporated only into guanine. Thus, there is no interconversion of nucleotides. Deoxyadenosine and deoxyguanosine were cleaved to adenine and guanine before being utilized, and purine (deoxy)nucleoside phosphorylase activity was present in reticulate body extract. 相似文献

Intraperitoneal administration of guanosine to rats with chronic spinal cord injury stimulates remyelination and functional recovery. If guanosine produced its effects in the nervous system, it should enter it and elevate endogenous concentrations. [ 3 H]-guanosine (8 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally to rats and its distribution and concentration in different sites determined. Guanosine rapidly entered all tissues; its concentration peaked at about 15 minutes except in adipose tissue and CNS where it continued to rise for 30 minutes. Its chief metabolic product in all sites was guanine with over twice as much guanine as guanosine present in CNS after 30 minutes. 相似文献

Abstract: With [3H]guanosine triphosphate ([3H]GTP) and [3H]β, γ -imidoguanosine 5′-triphosphate ([3H]GppNHp) as the labelled substrates, both the binding and the catabolism of guanine nucleotides have been studied in various brain membrane preparations. Both labelled nucleotides bound to a single class of noninteracting sites (KD= 0.1-0.5 μm ) in membranes from various brain regions (hippocampus, striatum, cerebral cortex). Unlabelled GTP, GppNHp, and guanosine diphosphate (GDP) but not guanosine monophosphate (GMP) and guanosine competitively inhibited the specific binding of [3H]guanine nucleotides. Calcium (0.1–5 mm ) partially prevented the binding of [3H]GTP and [3H]GppNHp to hippocampal and striatal membranes. This resulted from both an increased catabolism of [3H]GTP (into [3H]guanosine) and the likely formation of Ca-guanine nucleotide2- complexes. The blockade of guanine nucleotide catabolism was responsible for the enhanced binding of [3H]GTP to hippocampal membranes in the presence of 0.1 mm -ATP or 0.1 mm -GMP. Striatal lesions with kainic acid produced both a 50% reduction of the number of specific guanine nucleotide binding sites and an acceleration of [3H]GTP and [3H]GppNHp catabolism (into [3H]guanosine) in membranes from the lesioned striatum. This suggests that guanine nucleotide binding sites were associated (at least in part) with intrinsic neurones whereas the catabolising enzyme(s) would be (mainly) located to glial cells (which proliferate after kainic acid lesion). The characteristics of the [3H]guanine nucleotide binding sites strongly suggest that they may correspond to the GTP subunits regulating neurotransmitter receptors including those labelled with [3H]5-hydroxytryptamine ([3H]5-HT) in the rat brain. 相似文献

Purine transport by Malpighian tubules of pteridine-deficient eye color mutants of Drosophila melanogaster 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Uptakes of guanine into Malpighian tubules of wild-type Drosophila and the eye color mutants white (w), brown (bw), and pink-peach (p
p) have been compared. Tubules for each of these mutants are unable to concentrate guanine intracellularly. The transport of xanthine and riboflavin is also deficient in w tubules. The transport of guanosine, adenine, hypoxanthine, and guanosine monophosphate is similar in wild-type and white Malpighian tubules. These data and other information about these mutants make it likely that these pteridine-deficient eye color mutants do not produce pigments because of the inability to transport a pteridine precursor. This view supports the hypothesis that mutants which lack both pteridine and ommochromes do so because precursors to both classes of pigments share a common transport system.This work was supported by Grant GM22366 from NIH. 相似文献

THE UPTAKE OF PURINES BY RAT BRAIN IN VIVO AND IN VITRO 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Abstract— The uptake of [14 C]guanine and some of its [14 C]-labelled derivatives into rat brain was studied in vivo and in vitro. In vivo guanine, guanosine, and hypoxanthine penetrated the brain of adult rats to a very small extent. Inosine was taken up somewhat better. In young animals, also, guanosine was taken up poorly, but guanine was taken up fairly well. When guanine was administered to adult animals, only guanine was found in the brain. In young animals, by contrast, radioactivity from guanine appeared in guanosine and in guanine nucleotides, but no free guanine was found. In vitro guanine was taken up much better and, in fact, remained mostly as guanine in slices from 10-day-old rats. The in vitro conversion of guanine to GMP and its incorporation into RNA was unimpaired by the addition of unlabelled guanosine, an indication that guanine was converted directly to GMP. The uptake of guanine in vitro was not subject to competitive inhibition or influenced by the presence of dinitrophenol. This finding suggested that guanine entered the slice by simple diffusion. 相似文献

Axonal demyelination is a consistent pathological sequel to chronic brain and spinal cord injuries and disorders that slows
or disrupts impulse conduction, causing further functional loss. Since oligodendroglial progenitors are present in the demyelinated
areas, failure of remyelination may be due to lack of sufficient proliferation and differentiation of oligodendroglial progenitors.
Guanosine stimulates proliferation and differentiation of many types of cells in vitro and exerts neuroprotective effects
in the central nervous system (CNS). Five weeks after chronic traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI), when there is no ongoing recovery of function, intraperitoneal administration of guanosine
daily for 2 weeks enhanced functional improvement correlated with the increase in myelination in the injured cord. Emphasis
was placed on analysis of oligodendrocytes and NG2-positive (NG2+) cells, an endogenous cell population that may be involved
in oligodendrocyte replacement. There was an increase in cell proliferation (measured by bromodeoxyuridine staining) that
was attributable to an intensification in progenitor cells (NG2+ cells) associated with an increase in mature oligodendrocytes
(determined by Rip+ staining). The numbers of astroglia increased at all test times after administration of guanosine whereas
microglia only increased in the later stages (14 days). Injected guanosine and its breakdown product guanine accumulated in
the spinal cords; there was more guanine than guanosine detected. We conclude that functional improvement and remyelination
after systemic administration of guanosine is due to the effect of guanosine/guanine on the proliferation of adult progenitor
cells and their maturation into myelin-forming cells. This raises the possibility that administration of guanosine may be
useful in the treatment of spinal cord injury or demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis where quiescent oligodendroglial
progenitors exist in demyelinated plaques. 相似文献

To find general metabolic profiles of purine ribo- and deoxyribonucleotides in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants, we looked at the in situ metabolic fate of various 14C-labelled precursors in disks from growing potato tubers. The activities of key enzymes in potato tuber extracts were also studied. Of the precursors for the intermediates in de novo purine biosynthesis, [14C]formate, [2-14C]glycine and [2-14C]5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxyamide ribonucleoside were metabolised to purine nucleotides and were incorporated into nucleic acids. The rates of uptake of purine ribo- and deoxyribonucleosides by the disks were in the following order: deoxyadenosine > adenosine > adenine > guanine > guanosine > deoxyguanosine > inosine > hypoxanthine > xanthine > xanthosine. The purine ribonucleosides, adenosine and guanosine, were salvaged exclusively to nucleotides, by adenosine kinase (EC 2.7.1.20) and inosine/guanosine kinase (EC 2.7.1.73) and non-specific nucleoside phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.1.77). Inosine was also salvaged by inosine/guanosine kinase, but to a lesser extent. In contrast, no xanthosine was salvaged. Deoxyadenosine and deoxyguanosine, was efficiently salvaged by deoxyadenosine kinase (EC 2.7.1.76) and deoxyguanosine kinase (EC 2.7.1.113) and/or non-specific nucleoside phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.1.77). Of the purine bases, adenine, guanine and hypoxanthine but not xanthine were salvaged for nucleotide synthesis. Since purine nucleoside phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.1) activity was not detected, adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.7) and hypoxanthine/guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.8) seem to play the major role in salvage of adenine, guanine and hypoxanthine. Xanthine was catabolised by the oxidative purine degradation pathway via allantoin. Activity of the purine-metabolising enzymes observed in other organisms, such as purine nucleoside phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.1), xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.22), adenine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.2), adenosine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.4) and guanine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.3), were not detected in potato tuber extracts. These results suggest that the major catabolic pathways of adenine and guanine nucleotides are AMP → IMP → inosine → hypoxanthine → xanthine and GMP → guanosine → xanthosine → xanthine pathways, respectively. Catabolites before xanthosine and xanthine can be utilised in salvage pathways for nucleotide biosynthesis. 相似文献

The causative agent of human African trypanosomiasis, Trypanosoma brucei, lacks de novo purine biosynthesis and depends on purine salvage from the host. The purine salvage pathway is redundant and contains two routes to guanosine‐5′‐monophosphate (GMP) formation: conversion from xanthosine‐5′‐monophosphate (XMP) by GMP synthase (GMPS) or direct salvage of guanine by hypoxanthine‐guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT). We show recombinant T. brucei GMPS efficiently catalyzes GMP formation. Genetic knockout of GMPS in bloodstream parasites led to depletion of guanine nucleotide pools and was lethal. Growth of gmps null cells was only rescued by supraphysiological guanine concentrations (100 μM) or by expression of an extrachromosomal copy of GMPS. Hypoxanthine was a competitive inhibitor of guanine rescue, consistent with a common uptake/metabolic conversion mechanism. In mice, gmps null parasites were unable to establish an infection demonstrating that GMPS is essential for virulence and that plasma guanine is insufficient to support parasite purine requirements. These data validate GMPS as a potential therapeutic target for treatment of human African trypanosomiasis. The ability to strategically inhibit key metabolic enzymes in the purine pathway unexpectedly bypasses its functional redundancy by exploiting both the nature of pathway flux and the limited nutrient environment of the parasite's extracellular niche. 相似文献

Pterin derivatives were extracted from formate dehydrogenase and from polysulfide reductase of Wolinella succinogenes and converted to 6-carboxypterin. The amounts of 6-carboxypterin were consisted with the molybdenum content of the enzymes. The bis(carboxamidomethyl) derivatives of the cofactors showed absorption spectra that were identical with that of the corresponding molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide derivative (cam MGD). After hydrolysis of the derivatives with nucleotide pyrophosphatase in the presence of alkaline phosphatase, guanosine was formed together with a compound showing the properties of dephospho-bis(carboxamidomethyl)-molybdopterin. It is conluded that both formate dehydrogenase and polysulfide reductase of W. succinogenes contain molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide.Abbreviations

1. Pentatrichomonas hominis was found incapable of de novo synthesis of purines. 2. Pentatrichomonas hominis can salvage adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine, adenosine, guanosine and inosine, but not xanthine for the synthesis of nucleotides. 3. HPLC tracing of radiolabelled purines or purine nucleosides revealed that adenine, adenosine and hypoxanthine are incorporated into adenine nucleotides and IMP through a similar channel while guanine and guanosine are salvaged into guanine nucleotides via another route. There appears to be no direct interconversion between adenine and guanine nucleotides. Interconversion between AMP and IMP was observed. 4. Assays of purine salvage enzymes revealed that P. hominis possess adenosine kinase; adenosine, guanosine and inosine phosphotransferases; adenosine, guanosine and inosine phosphorylases and AMP deaminase. 相似文献

The mutagen 1,1′-hexamethylene-bis[(5-p-chlorophenyl)-biguanide] reacts at 37°C with guanosine and guanine to yield xanthosine or xanthine and oxidizes cysteine to cystine. After treatment of a guanosine-labelled DNA sample from Escherichia coli with the mutagen xanthine could be detected as a reaction product. At a slow rate the mutagen is hydrolysed spontaneously yielding urea, 1,6-hexanediol and 4-chloroaniline. The reaction mechanisms both of the hydrolysis and of the reaction with cysteine and guanosine are discussed. 相似文献

The crude methanolic extract of Andrachne cordifolia Muell. (Euphorbiaceae) and its various fractions in different solvent systems (chloroform, ethyl acetate and n- butanol) were screened for antibacterial and antifungal activities. Crude extract and subsequent fractions demonstrated moderate to excellent antibacterial activities against the tested pathogens. Highest antibacterial activity was displayed by both chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions (100%) followed by the crude extract (68%) against Salmonella typhi. Similarly, crude extract and its subsequent fractions showed mild to excellent activities in antifungal bioassay with maximum (76%) antifungal activity against Microsporum canis by the chloroform fraction followed by the crude extract (65%). 相似文献

Pulse-labeling of the nucleotide pool in Entamoeba histolytica with radioactive precursors, and subsequent high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis of the radiolabeled nucleotides, indicate that E. histolytica is incapable of de novo synthesis of purine nucleotides. Hypoxanthine, inosine and xanthine could not be converted to nucleotides in E. histolytica, which suggests the absence of interconversion between adenine nucleotides and guanine nucleotides through formation of IMP. Adenosine was actively incorporated into nucleotides at an initial rate of 130 pmoles per minute per 10(6) trophozoites. Adenine, guanosine and guanine were also incorporated at much lower rates. The rate of adenine incorporation was enhanced by the presence of guanosine; the rate of guanine incorporation was significantly increased by adenosine. These stimulatory effects suggest that the ribose moiety of adenosine or guanosine can be transferred to another purine base to form a new nucleoside, and that the purine nucleosides are the immediate precursors of E. histolytica nucleotides. HPLC results showed that the radiolabel in adenine was exclusively incorporated into adenine nucleotides and that guanine was found only among guanine nucleotides, whereas the radioactivity associated with the ribose moiety of adenosine or guanosine was distributed among both adenine and guanine nucleotides. 相似文献

Chinese hamster cells exhibiting a temperature dependent alteration in purine transport 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
This paper reports the isolation of a phenotypically stable line of Chinese hamster ovary cells which exhibits a temperature dependent alteration in the transport of some purines. The alteration manifests itself for the uptake of guanine, hypoxanthine, azaguanine and guanosine but not for adenine, adenosine or thymidine. Studies with crude cell extracts suggest that, at the temperature the alteration is being expressed, the HGPRT activity is within the normal range. In cell-cell hybridization studies the alteration behaves as a recessive genetic trait. 相似文献

The effects of adenine and (or) guanosine concentration on the accumulation of inosine, xanthosine, adenosine and succino-adenosine were studied with various purine auxotrophs of Bacillus subtilis K strain. Genetical derepression of the common pathway enzymes resulted in increase in the accumulation of inosine, xanthosine and adenosine. Co-operative repression system of a common pathway enzyme, succino-AMP lyase with respect to adenine and guanosine, was confirmed under the condition of the accumulation test. From these and the relating other studies it was concluded that the synthesis of AMP was regulated mainly by the inhibition of PRPP amidotransferase by AMP and secondly by the repression of the common pathway enzymes by adenine and guanosine, that the synthesis of GMP was regulated mainly by the inhibition and repression of IMP dehydrogenase by guanine derivatives and that GMP was synthesized in preference to AMP at the branch point, IMP. 相似文献
