5-Oxoprolinase (l-Pyroglutamate Hydrolase) in Higher Plants: Partial Purification and Characterization of the Wheat Germ Enzyme.

Plant physiology

Mazelis M, Creveling RK.
PMID: 16660609
Plant Physiol. 1978 Nov;62(5):798-801. doi: 10.1104/pp.62.5.798.

5-Oxoprolinase has been found to be widely distributed in higher plants. This enzyme catalyzes the ATP-dependent hydrolysis of 5-oxo-l-proline (l-pyrollidone carboxylate, l-pyroglutamate) to glutamate. The enzyme has been purified almost 60 fold from wheat germ (Triticum aestivum L). This...

Research development of the relationship between thymidine phosphorylase expression and colorectal carcinoma.

Ye DJ, Zhang JM.
PMID: 23691439
Cancer Biol Med. 2013 Mar;10(1):10-5. doi: 10.7497/j.issn.2095-3941.2013.01.002.

Thymidine phosphorylase (TP) is a key enzyme that contributes to the composition and decomposition of pyrimidine nucleotides. TP seems homologous to platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor, and its effects on inducing vascularization and anti-apoptosis are closely related to growth...

Changes of purine and pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis during shoot initiation from epicotyl explants of white spruce (Picea glauca).

Plant science : an international journal of experimental plant biology

Stasolla C, Loukanina N, Ashihara H, Yeung EC, Thorpe TA.
PMID: 22980203
Plant Sci. 2006 Sep;171(3):345-54. doi: 10.1016/j.plantsci.2006.04.004. Epub 2006 May 15.

Nucleotide metabolism was investigated during white spruce organogenesis by following the metabolic fate of (14)C-labeled adenine, adenosine and inosine, as purine precursors, and orotic acid, uridine, and uracil, as pyrimidine intermediates. Key enzymes of purine and pyrimidine metabolism were...

Photooxidation of nucleic acids on metal oxides: physico-chemical and astrobiological perspectives.

The journal of physical chemistry. C, Nanomaterials and interfaces

Shkrob IA, Marin TM, Adhikary A, Sevilla MD.
PMID: 21399705
J Phys Chem C Nanomater Interfaces. 2011 Feb 07;115(8):3393-3403. doi: 10.1021/jp110682c.

Photocatalytic oxidation of nucleic acid components on aqueous metal oxides (TiO(2), α-FeOOH, and α-Fe(2)O(3)) has been studied. The oxidation of purine nucleotides results in the formation of the purine radical cations and sugar-phosphate radicals, whereas the oxidation of pyrimidine...

SI-MOIRAI: A new method to identify and quantify the metabolic fate of nucleotides.

Journal of biochemistry

Ikeda Y, Hirayama A, Kofuji S, Hirota Y, Kamata R, Osaka N, Fujii Y, Sasaki M, Ikeda S, Smith EP, Bachoo R, Soga T, Sasaki AT.
PMID: 34244779
J Biochem. 2021 Jul 09; doi: 10.1093/jb/mvab077. Epub 2021 Jul 09.

Since the discovery of nucleotides over 100 years ago, extensive studies have revealed the importance of nucleotides for homeostasis, health, and disease. However, there remains no established method to investigate quantitively and accurately intact nucleotide incorporation into RNA and...

Aqueous metabolome of tissue-specific conditional Pten-knockout mouse prostate cancer and TRAMP neuroendocrine carcinoma.

The Prostate

Kim S, Li L, Zhang J, Jiang C, Lü J.
PMID: 34662447
Prostate. 2022 Jan;82(1):154-166. doi: 10.1002/pros.24256. Epub 2021 Oct 18.

BACKGROUND: Metabolic reprograming is now a recognized hallmark of cancer. The prostate-specific phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (Pten) gene-conditional knockout (KO) mouse carcinogenesis model is highly desirable for studying prostate cancer biology and prevention due to...

Overexpression of Phosphoribosyl Pyrophosphate Synthase Enhances Resistance of .

Frontiers in plant science

Jung S, Koo KM, Ryu J, Baek I, Kwon SJ, Kim JB, Ahn JW.
PMID: 34512699
Front Plant Sci. 2021 Aug 26;12:719846. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2021.719846. eCollection 2021.

The enzyme phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase (PRPS) catalyzes the conversion of ribose 5-phosphate into phosphoribosyl diphosphate; the latter is a precursor of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides. Here, we investigated the function of PRPS from the single-celled green alga

Interplay Between Capsule Expression and Uracil Metabolism in .

Pyrimidine nucleotides play an important role in the biosynthesis of activated nucleotide sugars (NDP-sugars). NDP-sugars are the precursors of structural polysaccharides in bacteria, including capsule, which is a major virulence factor of the human pathogen

The growth of cancer cells relies more on increased proliferation and autonomy compared to non-malignant cells. The rate of de novo nucleotide biosynthesis correlates with cell proliferation rates. In part, glutamine is needed to sustain high rates of cellular...

Pea leaf glutamine synthetase: regulatory properties.

Plant physiology

O'neal TD, Joy KW.
PMID: 16659228
Plant Physiol. 1975 Jun;55(6):968-74. doi: 10.1104/pp.55.6.968.

Of a variety of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides tested, only ADP and 5'AMP significantly inhibited the Mg(2+)-dependent activity of pea leaf glutamine synthetase. They were less effective inhibitors where Mn(2+) replaced Mg(2+). They were competitive inhibitors with respect to...
