SummaryIsotope-labeled dihydroneopterin 3'-triphosphate with 3H at positions C-1' and C-2', respectively, has been prepared from isotope-labeled glucose as starting material. Glucose was first converted enzymatically to ribose 5-phosphate. GMP was subsequently obtained by the action of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase and guanosine phosphoribosyl transferase. It was subsequently phosphorylated to GTP in two steps using adenylate kinase and guanylate kinase. Dihydroneopterin triphosphate was prepared from GTP by the action of recombinant GTP-cyclohydrolase I from Escherichia coli. The method allows the incorporation of 3H and 14C isotope labels into any desired position of dihydroneopterin triphosphate. Rapid purfication procedures for phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase and guanosine phosphoribosyl transferase as well as HPLC assays for their determinations are described.

ABSTRACT Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 GTP cyclohydrolase I and human 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase were coexpressed in Escherichia coli. The E. coli transformant produced sepiapterin, which was identified by high-performance liquid chromatography and enzymatically converted to dihydrobiopterin by sepiapterin reductase. Aldose reductase, another indispensable enzyme for sepiapterin production, may be endogenous in E. coli.
