A bacterial homolog to HPRT.
The deduced 182 amino acid sequence of an open reading frame in the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus shows significant similarity to the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferases of other organisms. This similarity includes conserved amino acid residues involved in Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.
