Chemical compound and disease context of deoD

  • The ternary complex of purine nucleoside phosphorylase from E. coli with formycin B and a sulphate or phosphate ion crystallized in the hexagonal space group P6122 with unit cell dimensions a=123.11, c=241.22 A and three monomers per asymmetric unit [3].
  • BACKGROUND: Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) from Escherichia coli is a hexameric enzyme that catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of 6-amino and 6-oxopurine (2'-deoxy)ribonucleosides to the free base and (2'-deoxy)ribose-1-phosphate [6].
  • In E. coli PNP, the purine- and ribose-binding sites are generally hydrophobic, although a histidine residue from an adjacent subunit probably forms a hydrogen bond with a hydroxyl group of the sugar [6].
  • The proposed decay function was used to study effect of the interaction of E. coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP-I, the product of the deoD gene) with its specific inhibitor, viz. formycin A (FA), on fluorescence decays of ligand and enzyme tyrosine residues, in the presence of orthophosphate (P(i), a natural co-substrate) [7].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of deoD

  • The difference in the specificities of these two enzymes has been utilized in gene therapy treatments in which certain prodrugs are cleaved by E. coli PNP but not the human enzyme [6].
  • Molecular architecture of E. coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase studied by analytical ultracentrifugation and CD spectroscopy [5].
