Pathway Disorders Rare autosomal recessive disorders UMP synthase – deficiency in either orotate phosphoribosyltransferase or OMP decarboxylase leads to hereditary orotic aciduria, megaloblastic anemia appearing weeks to months after birth that does not respond to cobalamin, folic acid, or iron, orotic crystalluria and nephropathy, cardiac malformations, strabismus, and recurrent infection. Urine orotic acid overexcretion. Enzyme assay of RBC. Treatment with oral uridine. Adenosine deaminase – (Severe combined immunodeficiency disorder) variety of clinical phenotypes, history of infections, diarrhea, dermatitis, and failure to thrive, ribs and vertebrae abnormalities (defects in cartilaginous structures). Lymphopenia, B and T cell production affected. Enzyme assay of RBC/WBC. Treatment by bone marrow/stem cell transplantation or enzyme replacement. Purine nucleotide phosphorylase – (Immunodeficiency) lymphopenia, thymic deficiency, recurrent infections, and hypouricemia, developmental delay, ataxia, or spasticity. T cell production affected. Enzyme assay of RBC, lymphocytes, fibroblasts. Treatment by bone marrow/stem cell transplantation. Adenine phosphoribosyl transferase – frequent infections, renal colic, renal failure. Elevated urine levels of 2,8-dihydroxyadenine, 8-hyroxyadenine, and adenine; serum uric acid normal. Enzyme assay. Treated with dietary purine restriction, high fluid intake, and avoidance of urine alkalinization, Allopurinol to prevent oxidation of adenine. Screening newborn for Severe combined Immunodeficiency disorder (SCID) is by PCR and T cell receptor rearrangement excision circles (TREC) decrease, surrogate marker for thrombopoiesis. ADA deficiency: ADP, GTP, ATP and 2’deoxyadenosine increase in lymphocytes, 2-dAd inhibits S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) hydrolase, SAH increase inhibits all methylation reactions. dATP increase to toxic levels can inhibit ribonucleotide reductase. Ad increase leads to 2,8-dihydroxyAd and b-hydroxyAd in urine. PNP deficiency: dATP and dGTP increase, dGTP inhibits ribonucleotide reductase

Pathway Disorders X-linked recessive disorder Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase – (Lesch-Nyhan syndrome) usually presents at 3 to 12 months with orange sandy urine precipitate, dystonia, intellectual disability, self-mutilation (lips, tongue, fingers), and gout. Elevated serum and urine uric acid levels. Enzyme assay on RBC, lymphocytes, fibroblasts. Molecular genetics of gene. Treated supportively with low-purine diet, allopurinol, and plenty of hydration.

Phenobarbital treatment distiguished type 1 (no effect) from type 2 (lowers serum bilirubin 25%). Treatment of bilirubin encephalopathy with plasma exchange transfusion and long-term phototherapy.

O2 Binding/Unloading His64 and His93 either coordinate the Fe or are very close in proximity Free energy (G) of O2 binding to Hb drives conformational changes → cooperativity All structures were prepared using Jmol (http://jmol.sourceforge.net/) and appropriate pdb files (http://www.pdb.org/pdb/home/home.do).

Hemoglobin Structure Changes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin Binding of O2 to heme Fe2+ leads to global conformation changes. 2,3-BPG (not show here) binds within the central cavity of deoxyHb, weakly bound to oxyHb (O2 will displace BPG)

Factors Affecting Binding of O2 Depends on pH ([H+]), CO2, BPG (DPG), Temp Bohr effect (two components): H+ (binds oxyHb to displace O2) BPG (stabilzes deoxyHb) R: relax, high affinity state T: tense, low affinity state CO2 binds to N-terminus of subunits (~15% of total CO2) Carbonic anhydrase catalyzes CO2 + H2O = H2CO3 = HCO3- + H+ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_Effect
