Gene Description

hpt1 (SPAC23C11.13c; UniProt O13917) encodes hypoxanthine-guanine(-xanthine) phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.8). This single PRPP-dependent enzyme salvages hypoxanthine, guanine and xanthine to IMP, GMP and XMP: one 8-azathioxanthine-resistance mutation removes all three activities together. Mutants lacking guanine PRTase (pur1) also take up guanine more slowly. The enzyme is assigned to the cytosol by curator inference.

Summary: A single mutation removes hypoxanthine, xanthine and guanine PRTase activities together, so one enzyme carries all three.

ACCEPT
Summary: EC/RHEA mapping; consistent.
Reason: S. pombe hypoxanthine PRTase activity is lost in an 8-azathioxanthine-resistant single mutant together with the guanine and xanthine PRTase activities (PMID:5123876, the source of the separate IDA row, cited as corroboration of this mapping); UniProt records the IMP-forming reaction (by similarity to UniProtKB:Q04178) and PANTHER places the protein in the HGPRT subfamily.

IC
GO_REF:0000111
ACCEPT
Summary: Curator inference of cytosol for this soluble purine salvage enzyme.
Reason: No direct cytosol observation is available for S. pombe Hpt1. The inference rests on family membership (purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family, PANTHER HGPRT subfamily, whose members are soluble cytosolic salvage enzymes) and on the absence of any targeting or membrane feature: the record's FT section has only CHAIN, ACT_SITE and BINDING features (no SIGNAL, TRANSIT or TRANSMEM). The only S. pombe location data, the ORFeome screen behind UniProt's ER location (PMID:16823372), conflict with this and are reviewed on the ER row; the cytosol call should be confirmed experimentally.

GO_REF:0000117
MODIFY
Summary: Broad ARBA parent; correct but general, refined to the three specific salvage processes the gene carries.
Reason: Action changed from KEEP_AS_NON_CORE, whose reason argued only that the term is broad. Purine ribonucleoside monophosphate biosynthetic process is correct, but the gene already carries a specific descendant for each base it salvages, and a term that is correct but general is refined to all supported descendants rather than kept as their common ancestor. An S. pombe mutant study (PMID:5123876) shows that one locus supplies the hypoxanthine, xanthine and guanine phosphoribosyltransferase activities, and the curated function (by similarity) places the enzyme in purine nucleotide salvage. Replacements are GO:0032264 IMP salvage, GO:0032263 GMP salvage and GO:0032265 XMP salvage.
