Abstract
Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) was purified 12 000-fold to homogeneity from yeast by a three-step procedure including acid precipitation, anion-exchange chromatography, and guanosine 5' -monophosphate affinity chromatography. The enzyme is a dimer consisting of two, probably identical, subunits of Mr 29 500. The enzyme recognized hypoxanthine and guanine, but not adenine or xanthine, as substrates. An antiserum against both native and denatured enzyme has been raised and shown to be specific for the enzyme. The antiserum has no affinity for Chinese hamster or human HPRT but does recognize subunits of yeast HPRT as well as some cyanogen bromide fragments of the enzyme.
