چکیده

The effects of a number of alkylating agents on the in vitro incorporation of glycine1-C ~4 into the ethanol/acetone-insoluble fraction of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells have been studied. With the exception of 1:6-dimethanesulfonyl-D-mannitol, all inhibit (at the concentrations tested) this incorporation in varying degrees, with little or no effect on the respiration of the cells. The process of incorporation of glycine-l-C TM into tissue proteins is inhibited by alkylating agents in tumors, embryo, and normal adult tissues. The inhibitory effect of an alkylating agent on the incorporation of glycine-l-C TM into the proteins of tissues increases with time of exposure of the cells to the agent. Different tissues have different susceptibilities to an alkylating agent, so far as inhibition of glycine-l-C 14 incorporation is concerned. Glucose is able to effect some reversal of the inhibitory effects of the alkylating agents studied in Ehrlich carcinoma cells, but none in liver. Studies of the effects of di-(~-chloroethyl)amino hydrochloride show that, if inhibition of the process of glycine incorporation in Ehrlich ascites proteins is proportional to the amount of alkylating agent adsorbed on a cell receptor, the ads3rption follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

UPTAKE OF GLYCINE-l-Cl4 BY CONNECTIVE TISSUE

The connective tissue of the pubic symphysis of the female guinea pig undergoes a series of remarkable modifications during the estrus cycle and during pregnancy (1-3). Similar changes can be effected experimentally in the pubic symphysis of the castrated animal by appropriate treatment with steroid hormones and relaxin, making the symphysis especially suitable for investigation of the effects ...

Studies on the protein synthesis in poisoning. I. The inhibitory action of CC1-4 on the incorporation of C-14-2-glycine into the protein of mouse liver.

The incorporation of C14-2-glycine into the subcellular fractions of liver, kidney and serum proteins was observed in mice receiving CCl4 injections. The results showed a marked inhibitory effect of CCl4 on incorporation of C14-glycine into each subcellular fraction of the liver, but not of the kidney. The inhibition of the C14-glycine incorporation was most marked in mitochondria, moderate in ...

Effects of a Nitrogen Mustard on the Incorporation of Amino Acids into the Proteins of Tumor Slices1

The effects of phenylalanine mustard on the incorporation of 36S-labeled methionine into the proteins of tumor slices in vitro were studied in rats bearing the Walker 256 carcinosarcoma. Carcinostatic doses of phenylalanine mustard administered to the rat resulted in an inhibition of the incorporation of the amino acid into the protein of the tumor. The pattern of inhibition, in which effects o...

Studies on fluorinated pyrimidines. IV. Effects on nucleic acid metabolism in vivo.

In conjunction with the studies on the metabo lism and incorporation of labeled 5-fluorouracil and 5-fluoroorotic acid into RNA (2), investigations have been carried out to determine the effects of various fluorinated pyrimidine derivatives as in hibitors of nucleic acid biosynthesis. Because the fluorine atom in the pyrimidine molecule is at tached to the same carbon that bears the methyl grou...
