Simultaneous assay of adenosine deaminase and purine nucleoside phosphorylase activity as possible biochemical means to detect non-Hodgkin lymphomas of the oral cavity.

Only registered users can translate articles

METHODS This study proposes the usefulness of simultaneous assay of adenosine deaminase (enzyme code [EC] 3.5.4.4; ADA) and purine nucleoside phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.1; PNP) activities in a biopsy specimen as a biochemical test adjunctive to the histologic diagnosis of oral non-Hodgkin lymphomas

Modeling, substrate docking, and mutational analysis identify residues essential for the function and specificity of a eukaryotic purine-cytosine NCS1 transporter.

Only registered users can translate articles

The recent elucidation of crystal structures of a bacterial member of the NCS1 family, the Mhp1 benzyl-hydantoin permease from Microbacterium liquefaciens, allowed us to construct and validate a three-dimensional model of the Aspergillus nidulans purine-cytosine/H(+) FcyB symporter. The model

Purine substrate recognition by the nucleobase-ascorbate transporter signature motif in the YgfO xanthine permease: ASN-325 binds and ALA-323 senses substrate.

The nucleobase-ascorbate transporter (NAT) signature motif is a conserved 11-amino acid sequence of the ubiquitous NAT/NCS2 family, essential for function and selectivity of both a bacterial (YgfO) and a fungal (UapA) purine-transporting homolog. We examined the role of NAT motif in more detail,

Analysis of the in vitro antitumor activity of novel purine-6-sulfenamide, -sulfinamide, and -sulfonamide nucleosides and certain related compounds using a computer-aided receptor modeling procedure.

The comparative antileukemic activities of 21 novel nucleosides were determined in vitro by using cultured L1210 cells and analyzed for structure-related efficacy by a computer-aided receptor modeling method (REMOTEDISC) as recently described (Ghose, A. K.; et al. J. Med. Chem. 1989, 32, 746). The

Crystal structure of Bacillus subtilis YabJ, a purine regulatory protein and member of the highly conserved YjgF family.

Only registered users can translate articles

The yabJ gene in Bacillus subtilis is required for adenine-mediated repression of purine biosynthetic genes in vivo and codes for an acid-soluble, 14-kDa protein. The molecular mechanism of YabJ is unknown. YabJ is a member of a large, widely distributed family of proteins of unknown biochemical

Crystal structure of an RNA purine-rich tetraplex containing adenine tetrads: implications for specific binding in RNA tetraplexes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Purine-rich regions in DNA and RNA may contain both guanines and adenines, which have various biological functions. Here we report the crystal structure of an RNA purine-rich fragment containing both guanine and adenine at 1.4 A resolution. Adenines form an adenine tetrad in the N6-H em leader N7

Selective human adenosine A3 antagonists based on pyrido[2,1-f]purine-2,4-diones: novel features of hA3 antagonist binding.

Only registered users can translate articles

Based on our previous results on the potent antagonist effect of 1H,3H-pyrido[2,1-f]purine-2,4-diones at the human A(3) adenosine receptor, new series of this family of compounds have been synthesized and evaluated in radioligand binding studies against the human A(1), A(2A), A(2B), and A(3)

Purine analogs as phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIIβ inhibitors.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report on an extensive structure-activity relationship study of novel PI4K IIIβ inhibitors. The purine derivative of the potent screening hit T-00127-HEV1 has served as a suitable starting point for a thorough investigation of positions 8 and 2. While position 8 of the purine scaffold can only

Theoretical studies on the interaction of modified pyrimidines and purines with purine riboswitch.

Recent experimental study [S.D. Gilbert, S.J. Mediatore, R.T. Batey, Modified pyrimidine specifically bind the purine riboswitch, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 128 (2006) 14214-14215] demonstrated that the purine riboswitch could specifically bind some ligands other than purines such as amino-pyrimidines, and

Plasmodium falciparum purine nucleoside phosphorylase: crystal structures, immucillin inhibitors, and dual catalytic function.

Only registered users can translate articles

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase from Plasmodium falciparum (PfPNP) is an anti-malarial target based on the activity of Immucillins. The crystal structure of PfPNP.Immucillin-H (ImmH).SO(4) reveals a homohexamer with ImmH and SO(4) bound at each catalytic site. A solvent-filled cavity close to the

In vivo sensitization of ovarian tumors to chemotherapy by expression of E. coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase in a small fraction of cells.

This report examines a major barrier to suicide gene therapy in cancer and other diseases: namely, bystander cell killing. Existing vectors for in vivo gene delivery are inefficient and often transduce or transfect less than 1% of target cells. The E. coli PNP gene brings about cellular necrosis

The Translation Inhibitor Rocaglamide Targets a Bimolecular Cavity between eIF4A and Polypurine RNA.

Only registered users can translate articles

A class of translation inhibitors, exemplified by the natural product rocaglamide A (RocA), isolated from Aglaia genus plants, exhibits antitumor activity by clamping eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A (eIF4A) onto polypurine sequences in mRNAs. This unusual inhibitory mechanism raises the

Modelling, substrate docking and mutational analysis identify residues essential for function and specificity of the major fungal purine transporter AzgA.

Only registered users can translate articles

The AzgA purine/H(+) symporter of Aspergillus nidulans is the founding member of a functionally and phylogenetically distinct transporter family present in fungi, bacteria and plants. Here a valid AzgA topological model is built based on the crystal structure of the Escherichia coli uracil
