Adenine and Adenosine Salvage I

Escherichia coli
The salvage of adenine begins with adenine being transporter into the cytosol through a adeP hydrogen symporter. Once in the cytosol adenine is degraded by reacting with a ribose-1-phosphate through an adenosine phosphorylase resulting in the release of a phosphate and adenosine. Adenosine is then deaminated by reacting with water, a hydrogen ion and an adenosine deaminase resulting in the release of an ammonium and a inosine . Inosine then reacts with a phosphate through a inosine phosphorylase resulting in the release of a ribose 1-phosphate and a hypoxanthine. Hypoxanthine reacts with a PRPP through a hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase resulting in the release of a pyrophosphate and a IMP molecule.

Adenine and Adenosine Salvage III

Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Adenosine is first incorporated into the cytosol through either a nupG or a nupC transporter. Once in the cytosol, adenosine is degraded into adenine by reacting with a water and a adenosine nucleosidase, releasing a D-ribofuranose and a adenine. The adenine then reacts with a PRPP through a adenine phosphoribosyltransferase resulting in the release of a pyrophosphate and an AMP . The AMP in turn reacts with a water molecule through a AMP nucleosidase resulting in the release of a D-ribofuranose 5-phosphate and a adenine.

Adenine Phosphoribosyltransferase Deficiency (APRT)

Homo sapiens
Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency, which is also known as APRTD or APRT deficiency, is a rare inherited inborn error of metabolism (IEM) leading to the recurrent formation of kidney stones. It is an autosomal recessive disorder associated with a mutation in the enzyme adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT). APRT is involved in the nucleotide salvage pathway, which provides an alternative, and energetically more efficient route to nucleotide biosynthesis in humans and most other animals. A defect in this enzyme can lead to the accumulation of the insoluble purine known as 2,8-dihydroxyadenine. In particular, when APRT has reduced or nonexistent activity, adenine accumulates which is then degraded by xanthine dehydrogenase to 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (DHA). 2,8-Dihydroxyadenine is a derivative of adenine which accumulates in 2,8 dihydroxyadenine urolithiasis (kidney stones). Kidney and urinary tract stones can obstruct the urinary tract, resulting in pain and difficulty urinating. If left untreated, the condition can eventually produce kidney failure. APRTD was first diagnosed in 1976. There are two categories of APRTD: type I involves a complete loss of the APRT function while type II involves a partial loss and is mostly found in Japan. APRT deficiency is estimated to affect 1 in 27 000 people in Japan. APRTD is rarer in Europe, where it affects 1 in 50 000 to 100 000 people. A diagnosis of APRTD can be made by analyzing kidney stones or measuring DHA concentrations in urine. APRTD is treatable with regular doses of allopurinol, which inhibits xanthine dehydrogenase activity. APRTD can also be treated with a low-purine diet and a high fluid intake.

Adenosine Deaminase Deficiency

Mus musculus
Adenosine deaminiase deficiency (immunodeficiency) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a muation in the ADA gene which codes for adenosine deaminase. A deficiency in this enzyme results in immunodeficiency and a decreased concentration of lymphocytes in blood. Symptoms include diarrhea, severe or recurrent infections, vomiting and early onset in children, infants and newborns. Treatment includes bone-marrow transplants and enzyme replacement therapy.
