Pyrimidine biosynthesis de novo in M. leprae.
Mycobacterium leprae can synthesise pyrimidines de novo. Although pyrimidine synthesis could not be detected in intact bacteria, extracts contained all four enzymes unique to the de novo pathway which are detectable in mycobacteria by the methods used. Inhibition of aspartate transcarbamylase by UTP and ATP suggested that lack of pyrimidine synthetic activity in whole M. leprae could be a resul...
متن کاملPurine biosynthesis de novo in mouse tissues and a mouse tumor.
There is evidence that an interchange of purines among tissues may occur (1, 2) and that, for example, bone marrow obtains its purines from the liver (3). For this reason relative rates of purine synthesis de novo in organs, as indicated by incorporation of a radioactive precursor, may be ambiguous if measured at relatively long times after administration of the precursor. Therefore the synthes...
متن کاملCarbocyclic substrates for de novo purine biosynthesis.
The carbocyclic analogues of phosphoribosylamine, glycinamide ribonucleotide, and formylglycinamide ribonucleotide have been prepared as the racemates. Carbocyclic phosphoribosylamine was utilized as a substrate by the monofunctional glycinamide ribonucleotide synthetase from Escherichia coli as well as the glycinamide ribonucleotide synthetase activity of the eucaryotic trifunctional enzyme of...
متن کاملDe Novo Purine Biosynthesis in Intact Cells of Cucurbita pepo.
The capacity of intact cells of roots excised from summer squash plants (Cucurbita pepo L. cv Early Prolific Straightneck) to synthesize purine nucleotides de novo was investigated. Evidence that purine nucleotides are synthesized de novo included: (a) demonstration of the incorporation of [1-(14)C]glycine, [2-(14)C]glycine, NaH(14)CO(3), and H(14)COONa into total adenine nucleotides; (b) obser...
متن کاملS1P Signaling and De Novo Biosynthesis in Blood Pressure Homeostasis.
Initially discovered as abundant components of eukaryotic cell membranes, sphingolipids are now recognized as important bioactive signaling molecules that modulate a variety of cellular functions, including those relevant to cancer and immunologic, inflammatory, and cardiovascular disorders. In this review, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of the role of sphingosine-1-phosphate (...
