چکیده

Ribonucleotide reductase catalyzes the first unique, rate-limiting step in DNA synthesis; both its large (M1) and small (M2) subunits are necessary for activity. While direct studies of M2 expression have previously shown a tight correlation with S phase, the kinetic features of M1-expressing cells have remained ill defined. Therefore we have, using immunofluorescence flow cytometry, analyzed changes in whole cell M1 levels and DNA content during various cell cycle and differentiation events. In asynchronous cultures M1 levels are sustained throughout the cell cycle, including G1 phase when M2 levels and ribonucleotide reductase catalytic activity are known to be very low. In contrast M1 is virtually absent from quiescent lymphocytes but is expressed following mitogen stimulation, shortly before S phase cells appear. M1 declines to low levels in "plateau phase" cultures, the major reduction occurring in cells with 2n (G0/G1) DNA content. HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells, induced into either myeloid or monocyte-macrophage differentiation, show a similar marked decrease in M1 levels concomitant with the cessation of cell division. We conclude that the M1 subunit of ribonucleotide reductase is constitutively expressed by cycling cells. It is acquired during stimulated transition from G0 to G1 and is lost during exit to G0 or terminal differentiation. This pattern of expression suggests that determination of cellular M1 content may be useful in distinguishing proliferating (including G1) and quiescent (including G0) cells in vivo.

18F-fluorodeoxyglucose Uptake with Expression of Excision Repair Cross-complementary Group 1 and Ribonucleotide Reductase Subunit M1 in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) is widely applied in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The standardized uptake value (SUV), a semi‐quantitative index, plays an essential role in NSCLC for diagnosis, staging, and efficacy evaluation. It has been proposed that the SUVmax of tumors may correlate with the presence or absence of chemotherapy resista...

Herpes simplex virus ribonucleotide reductase induced in infected BHK-21/C13 cells: biochemical evidence for the existence of two non-identical subunits, H1 and H2.

In nearly all systems studied, ribonucleotide reductase consists of two non-identical subunits. We present here the results of our study on herpes simplex virus (HSV) ribonucleotide reductase in favour of the existence of two subunits, H1 and H2, different from the mammalian subunits, M1 and M2. First, although the viral subunits could not be separated by Blue Sepharose chromatography (unlike m...

Direct photoaffinity labeling of an allosteric site on subunit protein M1 of mouse ribonucleotide reductase by dTTP.

The protein M1 subunit of ribonucleotide reductase contains at least two allosteric nucleotide binding sites that control the capacity of the enzyme to reduce ribonucleotides to the deoxyribonucleotides required for DNA synthesis. Direct photoaffinity labeling of partially purified protein M1 from mouse T-lymphoma (S49) cells was observed after UV irradiation in the presence of dTTP at 0 degree...
