Phosphoribosyltransferases are the tools that allow the synthesis of nucleotide analogues using multi-enzymatic cascades. The recombinant adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) and hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) from HB27 were expressed in strains and purified by chromatographic methods with yields of 10-13 mg per liter of culture. The activity dependence of APRT and HPRT on different factors was investigated along with the substrate specificity towards different heterocyclic bases. The kinetic parameters for HPRT with natural substrates were determined. Two nucleotides were synthesized: 9-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-2-chloroadenine 5'-monophosphate (2-Сl-AMP) using APRT and 1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazolo[3,4-]pyrimidine-4-one 5'-monophosphate (Allop-MP) using НPRT.
