Inosine uptake by cultured fibroblasts from normal and purine nucleoside phosphorylase-deficient humans. 1977

A Cohen, and D W Martin

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase-deficient cultured human fibroblasts accumulate inosine from the medium at 60% of the rate in wild type cells when the extracellular inosine concentration is 10 micronM and 30% of the normal rate when inosine is present at 100 micronM. When 10 micronM inosine is present, uridine but not hypoxanthine inhibits the accumulation of inosine. There exist two transport systems for inosine. One is shared with pyrimidine ribonucleosides and is the predominant one at 10 micronM inosine; the other is purine nucleoside phosphorylase-dependent and prevails at 100 micronM inosine.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007042 Hypoxanthines Purine bases related to hypoxanthine, an intermediate product of uric acid synthesis and a breakdown product of adenine catabolism.
D007288 Inosine A purine nucleoside that has hypoxanthine linked by the N9 nitrogen to the C1 carbon of ribose. It is an intermediate in the degradation of purines and purine nucleosides to uric acid and in pathways of purine salvage. It also occurs in the anticodon of certain transfer RNA molecules. (Dorland, 28th ed)
D010430 Pentosyltransferases Enzymes of the transferase class that catalyze the transfer of a pentose group from one compound to another.
D011683 Purine-Nucleoside Phosphorylase An enzyme that catalyzes the reaction between a purine nucleoside and orthophosphate to form a free purine plus ribose-5-phosphate. EC 2.4.2.1.
