== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PNPH_HUMAN PNPH_HUMAN] Defects in PNP are the cause of purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency (PNPD) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/613179 613179]. It leads to a severe T-cell immunodeficiency with neurologic disorder in children.<ref>PMID:3029074</ref> <ref>PMID:1384322</ref> <ref>PMID:8931706</ref> 
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PNPH_HUMAN PNPH_HUMAN] The purine nucleoside phosphorylases catalyze the phosphorolytic breakdown of the N-glycosidic bond in the beta-(deoxy)ribonucleoside molecules, with the formation of the corresponding free purine bases and pentose-1-phosphate.<ref>PMID:2104852</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
In human, purine nucleoside phosphorylase (HsPNP) is responsible for degradation of deoxyguanosine and genetic deficiency of this enzyme leads to profound T-cell mediated immunosuppression. PNP is therefore a target for inhibitor development aiming at T-cell immune response modulation and has been submitted to extensive structure-based drug design. This work reports the first crystallographic study of human PNP complexed with acyclovir (HsPNP:Acy). Acyclovir is a potent clinically useful inhibitor of replicant herpes simplex virus that also inhibits human PNP but with a relatively lower inhibitory activity (K(i)=90 microM). Analysis of the structural differences among the HsPNP:Acy complex, PNP apoenzyme, and HsPNP:Immucillin-H provides explanation for inhibitor binding, refines the purine-binding site, and can be used for future inhibitor design.
