Differences between pyrimidine nucleoside monophosphate kinase from rat Novikoff ascites hepatoma and rat liver.

چکیده
Pyrimidine nucleoside monophosphate kinase [deoxycytidine monophosphate:adenosine triphosphate (dCMP:ATP) phosphotransferase. EC 2.7.4.14] has been purified from rat Novikoff ascites hepatoma and rat liver, each to a single major band appearing on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Differences exist in regard to efficiency and regulation of enzymatic activities. The Km values of the tumor kinase for cytidine monophosphate (CMP) (0.0053 +/- 0.0008 MM) and dCMP (0.715 +/- 0.068 MM) are approximately one-fourth the Km values of the rat liver kinase, for CMP (0.030 +/- 0.007 MM) and dCMP (2.77 +/- 0.39 MM). The tumor dCMP kinase exhibits a lower Km for ATP (0.134 +/- 0.008 MM) than the rat liver kinase (0.68 +/- 0.09 mM). Moreover, the dCMP:CMP kinase activity ratio for the tumor enzyme is 1.12, while that for the rat liver enzyme is 0.45. The uridine monophosphate:CMP kinase activity ratio for the tumor enzyme is 1.93, while that for the rat liver enzyme is 2.68. Lower concentrations of dithiothreitol are required for 50% reactivation of the tumor dCMP kinase (1.00 mM) and CMP kinase (0.10 mM) than rat liver dCMP kinase (2.20 mM) and CMP kinase (0.57 mM). Thus, the kinase from Novikoff hepatoma exhibits properties of increased efficiency and relaxed regulation of activity which render it more suitable for a tumor, in which active DNA synthesis is ongoing.

Differences in Nucleolar Antigens of Rat Liver and Novikoff Hepatoma Ascites Cells1
Antisera to nucleoli of Novikoff hepatoma ascites and normal rat liver cells were produced in rabbits by injection of whole, isolated nucleoli. These antisera have been used to compare the nucleolar antigens that were partially fractionated by differential solubilization from nucleoli. Fourteen antigens were detected by these antisera; ten of these antigens were detected by both antisera. Oucht...

Nucleolar antigens of normal rat liver, regenerating liver, and Novikoff ascites hepatoma cells were transplanted in vitro from polyadenylic acid-containing messenger RNAs isolated from the respective tissues and immunoprecipitated with specific antinucleolar antibodies and Protein A. By two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of the translation products, five antigens were detected in normal rat l...

Nucleoside : purine (pyrimidine) deoxyribosyltransferase activity (EC 2.4.2.6.) has been demonstrated in bacteria by a number of investigators (l-5). Similar activity in mammalian tissues was reported by deVerdier and Potter (6). With the mammalian enzyme, however, the substrate specificity of the transfer reaction appeared to be restricted to pyrimidine bases and their deoxyribonucleosides. Tr...
