LITERATURE
analysis
-
biosynthetic labeling of RNA with uracil phosphoribosyltransferase allows cell-specific microarray analysis of mRNA synthesis and decay
medicine
molecular biology
engineering the yeast fluorocytosine deaminase (FCY1) gene by creating a fusion with the bacterial uracil phosphoribosyl transferase (UPP) gene results in a recombinant protein that converts the precursor 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) into 5-fluorouracyl, a drug used in the treatment of a range of cancers, which triggers DNA and RNA damage. The tissue-specific FCY-UPP system is a great tool to inactivate cells in a precise spatial and temporal manner, method evaluation, overview
pharmacology
potential target for the development of new antibiotics
synthesis
MtTtUPRT is successfully applied in the enzymatic synthesis of therapeutic NMP analogues. The immobilized enzyme is usable as a biocatalyst in the synthesis of different 5-modified uridine-5'-monophosphates at short times. MTtUPRT3 can be reused up to 8 times in the synthesis of uridine-5'-monophosphate (UMP) with maximum activity at 100°C and pH 7.0 (activity 968 IU/g support, retaining activity 100%). Potential application of MTtUPRT3 as industrial biocatalyst
