A Review Comparing Deoxyribonucleoside Triphosphate (dNTP) Concentrations in the Mitochondrial and Cytoplasmic Compartments of Normal and Transformed Cells

Abstract: The deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) pools that support the replication of mitochondrial DNA are physically separated from the rest of the cell by the double membrane of the mitochondria. Perturbed homeostasis of mitochondrial dNTP pools is associated with a set of severe diseases collectively termed mitochondrial DNA depletion syndromes. The degree of interaction of the mitochondrial dNTP pools with the corresponding dNTP pools in the cytoplasm is currently not clear. We reviewed the literature on prev… Show more

“…Outside of S phase, and in nondividing cells, dNTPs are required only for DNA repair and for mitochondrial DNA replication, which occurs continuously in all cells. However, the amount of dNTPs required outside of S phase is decreased substantially (2).…”

“…Depending on the cell type and physiological conditions, dNTPs may be provided from ribonucleoside salvage or the de novo synthesis of ribonucleotide diphosphates followed by reduction to dNDPs by ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) 2 with subsequent phosphorylation by cellular nucleoside diphosphokinases (NDPKs) to dNTPs (for a review, see Ref. 3).…”

“…Following this period, while growth continues, cell division stops and growth is due to hypertrophy (24,25). In cell culture, it is well known that the size of the dNTP pools and the expression of enzymes responsible for their synthesis and salvage are much higher in dividing cells than in quiescent cells (31). We have shown in this study that a similar change takes place in vivo, in which dNTP pools and the enzymes responsible for their synthesis and salvage decreased dramatically as heart tissue moved from hyperplasia to hypertrophy (Fig.…”

“…Quiescent cells maintain low levels of nucleotides that can be generated by salvage pathways to support transcription and DNA repair (28,55). Even the modest needs of retroviruses for dNTPs during reverse transcription overburden this supply (56,57).…”
