Gergely Keszler
2009.
1
The biological role of nucleotides
1. Building blocks of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA)
2. Storage of biochemical energy (ATP and GTP)
3. Activation of biosynthetic precursors (UDP-glucose, CDP-choline)
4. Components of coenzymes (NAD, FAD, Coenzyme A etc.)
5. Regulation of metabolism (cAMP, cGMP)
6. Nucleotide analogues: anticancer and antiviral therapies
2
Terminology of nucleotides
phosphoanhydride bonds
phosphoester bond
N-glycosidic bond
Nucleotides are composed of: a nucleobase
a nucleoside
a pentose
at least one phosphate group
3
Ribo- and deoxyribonucleotides
(Ado)
(Guo)
(Urd)
(Cyd)

Structures of nucleobases
N-containing, heterocyclic aromatic compounds;
substituted purine or pyrimidine rings
RNA
DNA
5
Nucleotide synthesis
„de novo”
stepwise assembly
from small precursors
(C1 fragments, CO2, amino acids,
ribose-P)
salvage (recycling)
• base + ribose-P → nucleotide
(typical for purines)
OR
• nucleoside + Pi → nucleotide
(typical for pyrimidines)

28
Why is uric acid acidic?
uric acid (oxo)
uric acid (enol)
urate (dissociated anion)
well soluble
poor solubility
precipitates in joints,
initiates chemical arthritis
GOUT
29
Hyperuricemia (gout)
Symptoms:
 urate crystals on the napkin (Lesch-Nyhan)
 Na-urate crystals  kidney stones
 urate in connective tissues and joints:
„tophus”, inflammation, pain
acute gouty arthritis
chronic gouty arthritis
Reason: Urate has low solubility
(especially at acidic pH )
30
Reasons for hyperuricemia
1. PRPP overproduction
• as a consequence of mutation
at the allosteric site of PRPP synthase,
the enzyme cannot be inhibited
gl-6-P
•overproduction of ribose-5-P
PPP
fr-6-P
e.g. gl-6-phosphatase deficiency
(von Gierke’s disease)

4. Secondary reasons:
• tissue damage
• cancer, cell damage

DNA breakdown
overproduction of purines
• Overproduction of organic anions
(lactate, ketone bodies, drug derivatives)
34
Medication of gout: allopurinol
hypoxanthine
Xanthine oxidase
allopurinol
alloxanthine
xanthine
oxopurinol
Competitive inhibitors
Hypoxanthine and xanthine in urine (better solubility)
35
Allopurinol, a special purine analogue
N-7 and C-8 have been scrambled up
Blocks xanthine oxidase, the enzyme
catalyzing the oxidation of
xanthine to uric acid – cures gout
36
Enzyme deficiency:
ADA / PNP / (ADA + PNP)
Symptoms: immunodeficiency, “NON-HIV AIDS”
Reason: B/T lymphocyte deficiency
Mechanism:
adenosine   dATP (ATP) 
dATP  inhibits ribonucleotide reductase
 inhibits DNA synthesis
 promotes apoptosis
Treatment: ADA enzyme therapy, gene therapy
37

Clinical manifestation of SCID
 Recurring, opportunistic infections: candidiasis, Pneumocystis-pneumonia
 Absence of lymph nodes, no thymic shadow upon chest X-ray examination
 Severe impairment of both humoral and cellular immunity:
 lower than 500/μl total lymphocyte count
 very low plasma immunoglobulin levels
 Untreated patients die before their age of 2 years
41
Treatment of ADA deficiency
1. Treatment of symptoms
 Infections
antibiotics, antiviral and antifungal drugs
 Immunoglobulin supplementation
Maternal immunoglobulins are effective in the first
few weeks of life
42
Treatment of ADA deficiency
2. Enzyme substitution
 Red blood cell transfusion
 Polyethylene-glycol-conjugated recombinanat ADA
(PEG-ADA): intramuscular injection
costs: 250,000 USD a year
43
Treatment of ADA deficiency
3. Gene therapy
Principle: Introduction of the normal allele into the
patients’ own stem cells
Ex vivo: Stem cells are transfected and transplanted into the patient
44
Ex vivo gene therapy
45
Ashanti da Silva: the first patient in the
world treated by retrovirus-mediated
ADA gene therapy
The introduced ADA gene functioned fine
for a few months. Later on, PEG-ADA
substitution therapy must have been
restarted due to inactivation of the gene.
