Purine and pyrimidine metabolism in cultured white spruce (Picea glauca) cells: Metabolic fate of 14 C-labeled precursors and activity of key enzymes

Abstract: In order to examine the biosynthesis, interconversion, and acid, and CO 2 . Among these 3 precursors, the radioactivity degradation of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides in white from [8-14 C]inosine was predominantly incorporated into CO 2 . These results suggest the operation of a conventional degrada-spruce cells, radiolabeled adenine, adenosine, inosine, uracil, tion pathway. Both [2-14 C]uracil and [2-14 C]uridine were con-uridine, and orotic acid were supplied exogenously to the cells and the overall meta… Show more

“…The activity of UK is usually higher than that of UPRT and thus uridine is more efficiently salvaged to UMP than is uracil (e.g. Kanamori-Fukuda et al 1981;Ashihara et al, 2000). UK has been partially purified from higher plants and its enzymatic properties have been well characterized (Deng andIves, 1972 and1975).…”

“…The administration of 14 C precursors of labelled metabolites was performed aseptically according to the protocols described by Ashihara et al (2000). Briefly, samples (15 leaf disks or 12 tuber disks) were placed into 1.8 ml of 20 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 5.7) in the main compartment of a 30-ml Erlenmeyer flask.…”

“…Labelled metabolites were analysed with thin-layer chromatography by the methods of Ashihara et al (2000) and Katahira and Ashihara (2002). The spots of authentic standard of b-alanine and pantothenic acid were visualized with ninhydrine and I 2 vapour, respectively.…”
