Disease relevance of apt

Nucleotide sequence and deduced amino acid sequence of Escherichia coli adenine phosphoribosyltransferase and comparison with other analogous enzymes [1].

High impact information on apt

MTAN is therefore involved in quorum sensing, recycling MTA from the polyamine pathway via adenine phosphoribosyltransferase and recycling MTR to methionine [2].
The difference in the repair phenotype of CPD between the HPRT gene and the APRT gene coincides with differences between both genes with regard to the DNA strand distribution of previously published UV-induced mutations [3].
Data are presented indicating that adenine may be transported without participation of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase [4].
In two mutants with undetected adenine phosphoribosyltransferase, the rate of adenine uptake was about 30% of that in their parent strain, and evidence was obtained to confirm that adenine had then been utilized via purine nucleoside phosphorylase [5].
An open reading frame immediately downstream of fnrA encoded adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.7) [6].
