Substrate specificity of uridine and purine nucleoside phosphorylases of the whole cells of Escherichia coli BM-11 has been studied. Both enzymes reveal similar requirements to the structure and stereochemistry of uracil nucleosides and of the pentofuranose-1-phosphates, respectively, viz, a) modifications at C-3' decreased the substrate activity to a greater extent as compared with the same modifications at C-2'; b) substitution of a methyl group for one of the 5'-CH2 protons does not lead to essential alterations of the substrate activity of such analogs vs. the natural substrates - uridine and ribofuranose-1-phosphate, respectively. PNP exhibits a very broad specificity for the purine acceptor.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
