Inactivation of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase caused by periodate-oxidized GMP is irreversible, even under the conditions of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and during affinity chromatography on GMP-Sepharose. Partial binding of the inhibitor to the enzyme protein can be demonstrated on dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis: The substrate, phosphoribosyl diphosphate in the presence of Mg2, and the product GMP protect the enzyme against inactivation. Periodate-oxidized GMP, AMP and oxidized purine nucleosides do not influence ribosephosphate pyrophosphokinase, 5'-nucleotidase, purine-nucleoside phosphorylase and guanylate kinase. A variety of other purine nucleosides and nucleotides, tested in their periodateoxidized form, do not lead to a compound comparable or superior to oxidized GMP in its effect on hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase. In an erythrocyte system it is clearly demonstrated that oxidized GMP cannot act across an intact cell membrane.

The activity of 5-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) and guanylate kinase (EC 2.7.4.8) in the mitochondria and supernatant of the brain and liver was determined in experiments on Wistar male rats 1, 3, 6, 24 and 48 h after the single total irradiation by gamma-quanta in a dose of 30 Gy. It is established that the activity of 5-nucleotidase in the liver endures phase changes with the predominance of the enzyme activation; in the brain it is higher during the whole period of investigation. The guanylate kinase activity lowers in the both fractions of the organs under study during the whole period of the experiment.

Amdoxovir [(-)-beta-D-2,6-diaminopurine dioxolane, DAPD], the prodrug of dioxolane guanosine (DXG), is currently in Phase I/II clinical development for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. In this study, we examined the phosphorylation pathway of DXG using 15 purified enzymes from human (8), animal (6), and yeast (1) sources, including deoxyguanosine kinase (dGK), deoxycytidine kinase (dCK), high Km 5'-nucleotidase (5'-NT), guanylate (GMP) kinase, nucleoside monophosphate (NMP) kinase, adenylate (AMP) kinase, nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase, 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PG) kinase, creatine kinase, and pyruvate kinase. In addition, the metabolism of 14C-labeled DXG was studied in CEM cells. DXG was not phosphorylated by human dCK, and was a poor substrate for human dGK with a high Km (7 mM). Human 5'-NT phosphorylated DXG with relatively high efficiency (4.2% of deoxyguanosine). DXG-MP was a substrate for porcine brain GMP kinase with a substrate specificity that was 1% of dGMP. DXG-DP was phosphorylated by all of the enzymes tested, including NDP kinase, 3-PG kinase, creatine kinase, and pyruvate kinase. The BB-isoform of human creatine kinase showed the highest relative substrate specificity (47% of dGDP) for DXG-DP. In CEM cells incubated with 5 microM DXG for 24 h, 0.015 pmole/10(6) cells (approximately 7.5 nM) of DXG-TP was detected as the primary metabolite. Our study demonstrated that 5'-nucleotidase, GMP kinase, creatine kinase, and NDP kinase could be responsible for the activation of DXG in vivo.
