Defective PNP disrupts phosphorolysis of (deoxy)guanosine and (deoxy)inosine
Click the image above or here to open this pathway in the Pathway Browser
Normally in humans, PNP (purine nucleotide phosphorylase) catalyzes the conversion of (deoxy)guanosine and (deoxy)inosine to guanine and hypoxanthine, respectively. In the absence of PNP activity, however, these purine nucleosides accumulate, disrupting lymphoid cell function and leading to severe immunodeficiency (Aust et al. 1992; Williams et al. 1987).
