Disease relevance of Purine

 

Psychiatry related information on Purine

 

High impact information on Purine

  • CONCLUSIONS: BL22 can induce complete remissions in patients with hairy-cell leukemia that is resistant to treatment with purine analogues [11].
  • BACKGROUND: Hairy-cell leukemia that is resistant to treatment with purine analogues, including cladribine, has a poor prognosis [11].
  • This loop E region is distorted by three "cross-strand purine stacks" and three novel, water-mediated noncanonical base pairs and stabilized by a four metal ion zipper [12].
  • Both porin classes interact with purine nucleoside triphosphates, which down-regulate pore size and cause a shift in voltage dependence and ion selectivity [13].
  • However, this effect on GCN4 translation is different from the response to amino acid or purine starvation [14].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Purine

 

Biological context of Purine

  • In all four junction-type sites Int protein interacts primarily with the same face of the DNA helix, as determined by those purine nitrogens that are protected against methylation by dimethylsulfate [20].
  • The consensus sequence for E74A protein binding, determined by random-sequence oligonucleotide selection, contains an invariant purine-rich core sequence, C/AGGAA [21].
  • Transcription initiates at the first purine within a conserved sequence, 5'-RYA-YA-3', 31 or 32 bp from the upstream inverted repeat [22].
  • Abnormal amounts of adenine, 8-hydroxyade-nine and 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (25 per cent of total purine metabolites) appeared in the urine of the propositus and his clinically normal brother, but not in heterozygotes or a control [23].
  • A point mutation in a purine nucleotide biosynthetic enzyme, adenylosuccinate lyase (ASL), segregates with the disorder [24].
 

Anatomical context of Purine

 

Associations of Purine with other chemical compounds

  • Another difference is that in all Dictyostelium mRNAs. the nucleoside X is a purine [30].
  • In addition to their application in identifying such genetic lesions, our results show that neither hydrogen bonds nor purine and pyrimidine structures are required to form a base pair with high efficiency and selectivity [31].
  • Regions that are highly conserved between muscle and yeast enzymes include the active site, the glycogen storage site and possibly the glucose and purine inhibition sites [32].
  • To demonstrate dependence, we challenged the ileum by removing drug or by adding the selective purine receptor antagonist, 8-phenyltheophylline, which does not substantially inhibit phosphodiesterase, or caffeine [33].
  • The three-dimensional structure of a ternary complex of the purine repressor, PurR, bound to both its corepressor, hypoxanthine, and the 16-base pair purF operator site has been solved at 2.7 A resolution by x-ray crystallography [34].
 

Gene context of Purine

  • The basal level transcription of the HIS4 gene is under the control of two genes, BAS1 and BAS2, which are also required for the control of purine biosynthesis [35].
  • Kinetic analysis of recombinant mutant PRS1s showed that widely dispersed point mutations in the X chromosome-linked PRPS1 gene encoding the PRS1 isoform result in alteration of the allosteric mechanisms regulating both enzyme inhibition by purine nucleotides and activation by inorganic phosphate [36].
  • The sequence and binding specificity of UaY, the specific regulator of the purine utilization pathway in Aspergillus nidulans, suggest an evolutionary relationship with the PPR1 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [37].
  • The sequence Gly-X-Gly-Lys-Thr, believed to be involved in the interaction with purine nucleotides in proteins that bind and hydrolyze the nucleotides, is present in the RAD3 primary structure between amino acids 45 and 49 [38].
  • Genomic cloning of methylthioadenosine phosphorylase: a purine metabolic enzyme deficient in multiple different cancers [39].
