چکیده

The studies reported here are primarily concerned with the metabolism of vitamin-containing nucleotides in intact cells. Holzer, Friedrich, and Grisebach (I) have reported that the Ehrlich ascites cells incorporated nicotinic acid-C4 slowly into nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Since, under the same conditions, nicotinamide-Cl4 was rapidly incorporated into nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, they concluded that the nicotinamide is the form of the vitamin most readily utilized by these cells. The present study, which was in part stimulated by these observations, indicates that nicotinic acid-C4 is readily incorporated into nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide provided L-glutamine is made available to the cells.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Synthesis in Ascites Cells in Vitro.

Previous studies in our laboratory (1) have shown that intact ascites cells incorporate nicotinamide-14C into both nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide. It was also shown that the specific activity of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide increased with increasing concentrations of nicotinamide-14C. High levels of nicotinic acid-r4C, on the other hand, did n...

Metabolism and Degradation of Nicotinic Acid in Parsley (Petroselinum hortense) Cell Suspension Cultures and Seedlings

Application o f [6 14C]or [7-14C]nicotinic acid to parsley cell suspension cultures led to the accumulation of labelled nicotinamide m ononucleotide, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, nicotinamide N-riboside, nicotinamide and nicotinic acid, indicating the operation of the pyridine nucleotide cycle in these cells. A s main conjugates, nicotinic acid N-glucoside and nicotinic acid glucose ester...

Pyridine nucleotide metabolism in Escherichia coli. 3. Biosynthesis from alternative precursors in vivo.

In Escherichia coli, the nicotinamide moiety of pyridine nucleotides may be derived from de novo synthesis of the pyridine ring or through the uptake of either nicotinic acid or nicotinamide. De novo synthesis is the least preferred pathway; it is suppressed if an exogenous source is available. Nicotinamide is kinetically preferred over nicotinic acid; the data are consistent with the hypothesi...

The metabolism of high intakes of tryptophan, nicotinamide and nicotinic acid in the rat.

1. The metabolic fate of high dietary intakes of nicotinamide, nicotinic acid and tryptophan, and of acute doses of nicotinamide and nicotinic acid, has been studied in the rat. A new high-pressure liquid chromatography method for measurement of the principal urinary metabolites of niacin is described. 2. Administration to rats of a single oral dose of nicotinamide or nicotinic acid (up to 100 ...

THE Jounx-n~ OF BIOLOGICAL CIIEMISTRY

The metabolism of nicotinic acid and nicotinamide has been examined in a number of mouse tissues following intraperitoneal injection of 0.9 pmole of W-labeled nicotinic acid and nicotinamide. In all the tissues except liver, and to some extent intestine, nicotinamide was clearly a better precursor of DPN than was nicotinic acid. In the case of liver and intestine [14C]nicotinic acid produced a ...
