medicine | mice deficient for bisphosphate 3'-nucleotidase Bpnt1 do not exhibit skeletal defects but instead develop severe liver pathologies, including hypoproteinemia, hepatocellular damage, and in severe cases, frank whole body edema and death. These phenotypes are accompanied by tissue-specific elevations of the substrate 3?-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphate, up to 50fold in liver, repressed translation, and aberrant nucleolar architecture. The phenotypes of the Bpnt1 knockout are rescued by generating a double mutant mouse deficient for both 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphate synthesis and hydrolysis, consistent with a mechanism in which 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphate accumulation is toxic to tissue function independent of sulfation | Mus musculus |
