The normal function of adenine pho
sphoribosyltransferase (APRT) is th
e removal of adenine derived as me
tabolic waste from the polyamine p
athway and the alternative route of
adenine metabolism to the extreme
- ly insoluble 2,8 dihydroxyadenine,
which is operative when APRT is inactiv
e. The alternative pathway is catalysed
byxanthi ne oxi dase.

The salvage p athway of the
purine bases, hypoxanthine
and guanine, to IMP and G

by HG PRT (1) in the presen -ce of PP ribos

The importance of HPRT in the norm
al interplay between synthesis and salva
ge is demonstrated by the biochemical a
nd clinical consequences associated with
HPRT deficiency.
Gross uric acid overproduction resul
ts from the inability to recycle either
hypoxanthine or guanine, which inte
rrupts the inosinate cycle producing
a lack of feedback control of synthes
is, accompanied by rapid catabolism

Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synth
etase (PRPS, EC 2 .7 .6 .1 ) catalyse
s the transfer of the pyrophosphate group
- - -of ATPto ribose 5 phosphate to form PP
- riboseP.
The enzyme exists as a complex aggr
egate of up to 3 2 subunits, only the
1 6 and 3 2 subunits having signifi
cantactivity. It requires Mg2+ , is activat
ed by inorganic phosphate, and is su
bject to complex regulation by differentn
- ucleotide end products of the pathwa
- - ys for which PP ribose P is a substrat
e, particularly ADP and GDP.

- - PP ribose P acts as an allosteric regulator of the first specific reacti
on of de novo purine biosynthesis, i n which the interaction of glutamin - - e and PP ribose P is catalysed by a
midophosphoribosyl transferase, p roducing a slow activation of the a
midotransferase by changing it fro m a large, inactive dimer to an activ
emonomer.
Purine nucleotides cause a rapid re versal of this process, producing th
ei nacti ve form.
Variant forms of PRPS have been de scribed, insensitive to normal regul
atory functions, or with a raised sp ecific activity. This results in contin - - uous PP ribose P synthesis which st
imulates de novo purine production , resulting in accelerated uric acid f
ormationandoverexcreti on.

•SCID because of dATP accumulation from dA phosphorylation – leading to RR inhibition (DNA synthesis choked off- cell proliferation blocked)
•Lymphoid tissue very active in dA phosphorylation
• The importance of adenosine deaminase (ADA) for the catabolism of dA, but not A, and the resu
ltant accumulation of dATP when ADA is defecti ve. A is normally salvaged by adenosine kinase and deficiency of ADA is not significant in this si
tuation
Adenine deaminase deficiency (SCID)

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP, EC 2 .4 .2 .1 )
• PNP catalyses the degradation of t he nucleosides inosine, guanosine
orthei r deoxyanal ogues to the corresp ondingbase.
• The mechanism appears to be the acc umul ati onof puri ne nucleotides whic
h are toxic to T cells.
• Less severe form of SCID as compared to ADA deficiency
• Useful in the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, IDDM, T cell lymphomas and leukemias

P urine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) is required for normal catabolism and salvage of b
oth nucleosides and deoxynucleosides. The lack of functional HG PRT activity, through absence o
f substrate, in PNP deficiency is also apparent.

Adenylosuccinate synthetase and lyase through adenylosuccinate

Intracellular uric acid crystal under polarised li - ght (left) and under non polarised light (right)
With time, elevated levels of uric acid in the blood may lead to deposits around joints. Ev
- entually, the uric acid may form needle like crystals in joints, leading to acute gout attac
ks. Uric acid may also collect under the skin or in the urinary tract as kidney stones.

The UMP synthase (UMPS) complex, a bifunctional protei n comprising the enzymes orotic acid phosphoribosyltra
- - nsferase (OPRT) and orotidine 5' monophosphate decar boxylase (ODC), which catalyse the last two steps of the
de novo pyrimidine synthesis, resulting in the formation of UMP.
Symptoms: Secretion of orotic acid in urine, retarded growth and severe anemia
Treatment: administration of uridine and / or cytidine; UMP inhibits CPSII
Hereditary oro tic aciduria

Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DHPD) is responsib - le for the catabolism of the end products of pyrimidine
metabolism (uracil and thymine) to dihydrouracil and d ihydrothymine. A deficiency of DHPD leads to accumul
ation of uracil and thymine. Dihydropyrimidine amidoh ydrolase (DHPA) catalyses the next step in the further
catabolism of dihydrouracil and dihydrothymine to ami no acids. A deficiency of DHPA results in the accumulat ion of small amounts of uracil and thymine together wit
h larger amounts of the dihydroderivatives.
