A bacterial homolog to HPRT

Biochim Biophys Acta. 1991 Dec 2;1129(1):112-4. doi: 10.1016/0167-4781(91)90223-9.

Abstract

The deduced 182 amino acid sequence of an open reading frame in the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus shows significant similarity to the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferases of other organisms. This similarity includes conserved amino acid residues involved in Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.
