medicine | model to explain adenosine triphosphate depletion during cystinosis. In the absence of cysteine, enzyme gamma-glutamyl cysteine synthetase forms 5-oxoproline, and the 5-oxoproline is converted into glutamate by the ATP-dependant enzyme, 5-oxoprolinase. Thus, in cysteine-limiting conditions, glutamate is cycled back into glutamate via 5-oxoproline at the cost of two ATP molecules without production of glutathione and this is the cause of the decreased levels of glutathione synthesis, as well as the ATP depletion observed in these cells. The model is also compatible with the differences seen in the human patients and the mouse model of cystinosis, where renal failure is not observed | Homo sapiens |
