A host cell stably transformed or transfected by a vector including a DNA sequence encoding for mutant purine nucleoside cleavage enzymes is provided. The transformed or transfected host cell can be used in combination with a purine substrate to treat tumour cells and/or virally infected cells. A nucleotide sequence encoding mutant
E. coli
derived purine nucleoside phosphorylase proteins which can be used in conjunction with an appropriate substrate to produce toxins which impair abnormal cell growth is also provided. A method is detailed for the delivery of toxin by generation withing target cells or by administration and delivery to the cells from without. Novel purine nucleosides are detailed that yield a cytotoxic purine upn enzymatic cleavage. A synthetic process for nucleosides is also detailed.
提供了一种由载有突变嘌呤核苷酸裂解酶编码DNA序列的载体转化或转染的宿主细胞。该转化或转染的宿主细胞可与嘌呤底物结合,用于治疗肿瘤细胞和/或病毒感染的细胞。还提供了编码突变E. coli来源的嘌呤核苷酰化酶蛋白的核苷酸序列,可与适当的底物结合使用,产生有害细胞生长的毒素。详细介绍了一种通过靶细胞内生成或通过外部给药和传递给细胞的毒素递送方法。详细介绍了产生细胞毒性嘌呤核苷酶裂解产物的新型嘌呤核苷。还详细介绍了一种核苷的合成过程。
