Background: HPRT

Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT), a member of the phosphoribosyltransferase family, is a magnesium-dependent, cytoplasmic, ubiquitously-expressed (1) salvage enzyme involved in the primary pathway utilized for purine synthesis (2, 3). It catalyzes the transfer of phosphoribose from phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate to hypoxanthine and guanine bases to form inosine and guanine, respectively. Human HPRT forms a homotetramer of identical subunits that form dimer pairs (4, 5). Each 49 kDa subunit is 217 amino acids and consists of a core domain containing the active site and a hood domain (4, 5). HPRT deficiency in the salvage pathway leads to overproduction of purine, indicating it may play a role in regulation of purine production (6). Deficiency from multiple characterized single point mutations (7,8) causes hyperuricemia resulting in gout-like symptoms of Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome or if completely lacking in HPRT, a severe X-linked hereditary disorder, Lesch-Nyhan Disease, that is also characterized to cause significant neurological impairment (3, 6) by affecting multiple signaling pathways (9) and through dysregulation of cellular functions including proliferation, RNA metabolism, DNA replication and protein synthesis (3, 10). Given its ability to modulate cellular functions through purine regulation, HPRT is implicated to play a role in cancer. Significant correlation between HPRT mutations and increased cancer risk have been reported (11, 12). HPRT has been found surface-expressed in cancer (13) and thus has been proposed as a potential marker and therapeutic target (12).
