N2 - We identified a novel point mutation (I137T) in the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT; EC 2.4.2.8) encoding gene, in a patient with partial deficiency of the enzyme (variant of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome). The mutation, ATT to ACT, resulting in substitution of isoleucine to threonine, occurred at codon 137 (exon 6), which is within the region encoding the binding site for 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP). We suggest the mechanism by which the mutation-induced structural alteration of HPRT reduced the affinity of the enzyme for PRPP.
