Fructose utilization for nucleic acid synthesis in the fetal pig.
Eight fetal pigs, in utero, were injected ip with 20 microCi/fetus [U14C]-fructose between d 55 and 65 pregnancy. The isotope was allowed to equilibrate between blood and tissues within injected fetuses for a period of 240 min. Fetal pigs were then sacrificed and nucleic acids were extracted from cold tissue homogenates of skeletal muscle and liver. Nuclide disintegrations per minute recovered ...
متن کاملThe utilization of purines in the biosynthesis of folic acid.
There is little information on the origin of the pteridine ring of folic acid (1). The possibility that purines contribute to the biosynthesis of this part of the vitamin has been investigated earlier but could not be demonstrated in a number of microorganisms (2). In fact, attempts to demonstrate the conversion of purines to other naturally occurring pteridines have resulted in an impressive n...
متن کاملRole of catabolism in pyrimidine utilization for nucleic acid synthesis in vivo.
The incorporation of pyrimidines into nucleic acids in vivo is increased by inhibition of pyrimidine catabolism with diazouracil. The utilization of iodouracil or thymine for DNA synthesis can be increased approximately 20-fold by simultaneous administration of diazouracil and a purine deoxyribonucleoside. The incorporation of iodouracil and thymine, when administered at high doses, is elevated...
متن کاملNucleic Acid Synthesis
INTRODUCTION Synthesis in the field of nucleic acids has been a major and continuing interest in my laboratory ever since we knew the structures of the nucleic acids. Clearly the foundations of synthetic work in the nucleotide field were laid by the prolonged and intensive efforts of Professor Todd's laboratory (Cambridge, England) and it was my good fortune to be associated with this laborator...
متن کاملUtilization of guanine for nucleic acid biosynthesis by Tetrahymena geleii.
As a result of the investigations of Kidder and coworkers, it has recently become possible to grow the ciliated prot.oaoan Tetrahymena geleii in a culture medium which is of chemically known composition (1, 2), as well as free of other microorganisms. Interest was aroused by similarities in its requirements for amino acids (2, 3) and vitamins (4) to those of the mammal, although differences hav...
