What if an enzyme you thought you knew turned out to control metabolism in a completely new way?

We found that NUDT5 acts as a molecular handbrake on purine synthesis, reshaping how cells make DNA building blocks and respond to cancer drugs.

A non-enzymatic role of Nudix hydrolase 5 in repressing purine de novo synthesis
Folate metabolism is intricately linked to purine de novo synthesis through the incorporation of folate-derived one-carbon units into the purine scaffold. By investigating chemical and genetic depende...
