1. Nucleotide Binding to Trimeric dUTPase: Studies on Recombinant Enzymes using Kinetic and Spectroscopic Methods
Sammanfattning : Recombinant dUTPase from the bacterium Escherichia coli, the retrovirus equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) and Homo sapiens have been made available for physico-chemical characterisation. The protocols developed have also proven to be suitable for production of enzymes modified by isotope labelling or other methods. LÄS MER
2. Viral dUTPases, Recombinant Expression, Purification and Characterization
Sammanfattning : The enzyme deoxyuridine 5’-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase, EC 3.6.1.23) catalyzes the hydrolysis of dUTP to dUMP and pyrophosphate. LÄS MER
3. On Monomeric and Trimeric dUTPases. Recombinant Expression, Purification, Conformational Properties and Catalytic Characteristics
Sammanfattning : Nucleotide metabolism and replication of nucleic acids are processes of fundamental importance. A crucial enzyme in nucleotide metabolism is dUTPase (E.C. 3. LÄS MER
4. Exploiting nucleotide metabolism to improve cancer therapy : by targeting dUTPase, dCTPase and NUDT15
Sammanfattning : Synthetic nucleobase- and nucleoside-analogs have stood the test of time and remain a cornerstone in the treatment regimen against various forms of cancer. Due to their resemblance to endogenous nucleotides these antimetabolites interfere with cellular pathways, including nucleotide metabolism, as well as DNA and RNA synthesis. LÄS MER
5. Homotrimeric dUTPases : Principles of Catalysis and Inhibitor Design
Sammanfattning : The ubiquitous enzyme dUTPase hydrolyzes dUTP into dUMP and pyrophosphate, preventing DNA fragmentation and cell death due to accumulation of dUTP. Inhibitors of dUTPase could serve as drugs in the treatment of cancers and infectious diseases. This thesis presents five studies. LÄS MER
