High impact information on APT1

  • These results demonstrate, for the first time, the refolding activity of Ssa1/2p in the context of the yeast cytosol, and define refolding activity as a chaperone function specific to Ssa1/2p, aprt from other cytosolic hsp70s [1].
  • We have used a hamster cell line engineered by gene targeting to contain a tandem duplication of the native adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) gene with an I-SceI recognition site in the otherwise wild-type APRT+ copy of the gene [2].
  • The behavior of adenine auxotrophs bearing additional mutations in purine salvage pathway genes (ade apt1, ade aah1 apt1, ade hpt1) supports a model in which secretion of degradation products, uptake, and reutilization of these products is a signal between cells synchronizing the sporulation process [3].
  • We demonstrate that the catalytic activity of the protein encoded by the yeast open reading frame is similar to that of rat APT1, and we designate the protein S. cerevisiae Apt1p [4].
  • Yeast APRTase is a dimeric molecule, and each subunit is composed of a central five-stranded beta-sheet surrounded by five alpha-helices, a structural theme found in all known purine phosphoribosyltransferases [5].
 

Biological context of APT1

 

Associations of APT1 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of APT1

  • Mutants deficient in adenine aminohydrolase (EC 3,5,4,2) activity, aah1, and hypoxanthine:guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2,4,2,8) activity, hpt1, were used to synthesize the genotypes apt1 hpt1 aah+ and apt1 hpt+ aah1 [9].
  • Northern (RNA) studies using the AAH-, APRT-, and CDC3-coding regions indicated that AAH regulation was not mediated at the level of transcription or mRNA degradation [10].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of APT1

  • Northern and Western blot analyses demonstrated that only APT1 was transcribed and translated under normal physiological conditions in yeast [6].
