Wang F, Shi W, Nieves E, Angeletti R, Schramm V, Grubmeyer C
Biochemistry . 2001 Jul; 40(27):8043-54. PMID: 11434773
Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) is the key enzyme in purine base salvage in humans and in purine auxotrophs, including Plasmodium falciparum, the leading cause of malaria. Hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange into amide...

Shi W, Munagala N, Wang C, Li C, Tyler P, Furneaux R, et al.
Biochemistry . 2000 Jun; 39(23):6781-90. PMID: 10841757
Giardia lamblia, the protozoan parasite responsible for giardiasis, requires purine salvage from its host for RNA and DNA synthesis. G. lamblia expresses an unusual purine phosphoribosyltransferase with a high specificity...

Smith J, Brachmann C, Celic I, Kenna M, Muhammad S, Starai V, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2000 Jun; 97(12):6658-63. PMID: 10841563
The yeast Sir2 protein, required for transcriptional silencing, has an NAD(+)-dependent histone deacetylase (HDA) activity. Yeast extracts contain a NAD(+)-dependent HDA activity that is eliminated in a yeast strain from...

Shi W, Li C, Tyler P, Furneaux R, Cahill S, Girvin M, et al.
Biochemistry . 1999 Aug; 38(31):9872-80. PMID: 10433693
Malaria is a leading cause of worldwide mortality from infectious disease. Plasmodium falciparum proliferation in human erythrocytes requires purine salvage by hypoxanthine-guanine-xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGXPRTase). The enzyme is a target for...

Shi W, Li C, Tyler P, Furneaux R, Grubmeyer C, Schramm V, et al.
Nat Struct Biol . 1999 Jun; 6(6):588-93. PMID: 10360366
The structure of human HGPRT bound to the transition-state analog immucillinGP and Mg2+-pyrophosphate has been determined to 2.0 A resolution. ImmucillinGP was designed as a stable analog with the stereoelectronic...

Li C, Tyler P, Furneaux R, Kicska G, Xu Y, Grubmeyer C, et al.
Nat Struct Biol . 1999 Jun; 6(6):582-7. PMID: 10360365
The proposed transition state for hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferases (HGPRTs) has been used to design and synthesize powerful inhibitors that contain features of the transition state. The iminoribitols (1S)-1-(9-deazahypoxanthin-9-yl)-1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-ribitol 5-phosphate (immucillinHP) and...

Teng H, Grubmeyer C
Biochemistry . 1999 Jun; 38(22):7363-71. PMID: 10353848
The dimeric zinc metalloenzyme L-histidinol dehydrogenase (HDH) catalyzes an unusual four-electron oxidation of the amino alcohol histidinol via the histidinaldehyde intermediate to the acid product histidine with the reduction of...

Grubmeyer C, Teng H
Biochemistry . 1999 Jun; 38(22):7355-62. PMID: 10353847
L-Histidinol dehydrogenase catalyzes the biosynthetic oxidation of L-histidinol to L-histidine with sequential reduction of two molecules of NAD. Previous isotope exchange results had suggested that the oxidation of histidinol to...

Wang G, Cahill S, Liu X, Girvin M, Grubmeyer C
Biochemistry . 1999 Jan; 38(1):284-95. PMID: 9890909
In de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, orotate phosphoribosyltransferase catalyzes the formation of orotidine 5'-monophosphate (OMP) from orotic acid and alpha-D-5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP). The known three-dimensional structure of the dimeric enzyme from Salmonella...

Biochemistry . 1999 Jan; 38(1):275-83. PMID: 9890908
Orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OMP synthase, EC 2.4.2.10) forms the UMP precursor orotidine 5'-monophophate (OMP) from orotate and alpha-D-5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP). Here, equilibrium binding, isotope partitioning, and chemical quench studies were used to...
