5 -Nucleotidases

Enzymes, measured in clinical laboratories, for which kits are available include y-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alanine transferase [9000-86-6] (ALT), aldolase, a-amylase [9000-90-2] aspartate aminotransferase [9000-97-9], creatine kinase and its isoenzymes, galactose-l-phosphate uridyl transferase, Hpase, malate dehydrogenase [9001 -64-3], 5 -nucleotidase, phosphohexose isomerase, and pymvate kinase [9001-59-6]. One example is the measurement of aspartate aminotransferase, where the reaction is followed by monitoring the loss of NADH ... [Pg.40]

CarbocycHc 2/3 -didehydro-2/3 -dideoxyguanosine [118353-05-2] (carbovk, CBV, 66), C H 2N502, synthesized in 1988 (177), is a promising candidate for the chemotherapy of AIDS. CBV inhibits HIV repHcation and HIV-induced cytopathic effects in a variety of human T-lymphoblastoid ceU lines at concentrations approximately two hundred- to four hundredfold below its cytotoxic concentrations (177). CBV is as effective as AZT and DDC in reducing the expression of vkal antigen in HIV-infected CEM ceUs (177). The antivkal potency and selectivity of carbovk is comparable to the anti-HIV-1 potency and selectivity of 2/3 -dideoxyadenosine (178). The exact mode of antivkal action of carbovk has not yet been elucidated, but may be the modulating effect of intraceUular nucleotides on 5 -nucleotidase activity (179). [Pg.314]

Purinergic System. Figure 2 Schematic of sympathetic cotransmission. ATP and NA released from small granular vesicles (SGV) act on P2X and a-i receptors on smooth muscle, respectively. ATP acting on inotropic P2X receptors evokes excitatory junction potentials (EJPs), increase in intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]j) and fast contraction while occupation of metabotropic ar-adrenoceptors leads to production of inositol triphosphate (IP3), increase in [Ca2+]j and slow contraction. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) stored in large granular vesicles (LGV) acts after release both as a prejunctional inhibitory modulator of release of ATP and NA and as a postjunctional modulatory potentiator of the actions of ATP and NA. Soluble nucleotidases are released from nerve varicosities, and are also present as ectonucleotidases. (Reproduced from Burnstock G (2007) Neurotransmission, neuromodulation cotransmission.

The RBC contains certain enzymes of nucleotide metabolism (eg, adenosine deaminase, pyrimidine nucleotidase, and adenylyl kinase) deficiencies of these enzymes are involved in some cases of hemolytic anemia. [Pg.612]

As for the stingray venom, not much is known. There was a report on the presence of 5 -nucleotidase and phosphodiesterase in stingray, Urolophus halleri, venom (29). [Pg.344]

The enzymes found in liver cells (Group I enzymes) include more than a dozen enzymes used in diagnostic laboratories, but those used most commonly are the transaminases (GOT and GPT), which continue to be the most widely used indicators of liver cell integrity. Enzymes found in the biliary cells (Group II) include alkaline phosphatase, glutamyl-transferase, leucine amniopeptidase and 3-nucleotidase. [Pg.206]

Meanwhile we have shown that the excision activation of ICOR channels is due to disinhibition [72]. The respective inhibitor, operationally named cytosolic inhibitor (Cl), is present in the cytosol of placenta trophoblast cells HT29- and Tg4-colonic carcinoma cells and RE cells of normal and CF patients. The molecule has an apparent molecular weight of 700-1 500 Da it is amphiphilic heat stable and not digested by trypsin, proteases, nucleotidases, lipases or amylase [72]. Burc-khardt, Fromter and their collaborators [114] have confirmed our results and extracted a similar or identical Cl from kidney cortex. [Pg.289]

Pyrimidine 5 -nucleotidase (P5N) is a unique enzyme that was recognized from studies of families with relatively common hemolytic disorders. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolytic dephosphorylation of pyrimidine 5 -nucleotides but not purine nucleotides. The role of this enzyme is to eliminate RNA and DNA degradation products from the cytosol during erythroid maturation by conversion of nucleotide monophosphates to diffusible nucleosides. P5N is inhibited by lead, and its activity is considered to be a good indicator of lead exposure (PI). [Pg.13]

P5N has two isozymes, P5N-I (pyrimidine nucleotidase) and P5N-II (deoxyri-bonucleotidase) (H6, P2). P5N-I is active principally with pyrimidine substrates at an optimal neutral pH P5N-II activity occurs with both purine and pyrimidine substrates and was maximal with deoxy analogues at an acidic pH optimum. This enzyme was partially purified from human red blood cells and had a molecular weight of 28,000 (T19). The primary structures of both isozymes have not been... [Pg.13]

Pyrimidine 5 -nucleotidase (P5N) deficiency appears to be the third most common cause of hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia after G6PD and PK deficiencies. To date, more than 42 cases have been reported worldwide (FI 1) since the first report by Valentine et al. (V4). This syndrome is characterized by hemolytic anemia, pronounced basophilic stippling of red blood cells (Fig. 6), and a... [Pg.29]

The increase in erythrocyte destruction may be due in part to inhibition by lead of pyrimidine-5 -nucleotidase, which results in an accumulation of pyrimidine nucleotides (cytidine and uridine phosphates) in the erythrocyte or reticulocyte. This enzyme inhibition and nucleotide accumulation affect erythrocyte membrane stability and survival by alteration of cellular energetic (Angle et al. 1982 EPA 1986a). Formation of the heme-containing cytochromes is inhibited in animals treated intraperitoneally or orally... [Pg.264]
