چکیده

A nucleoside aminohydrolase was prepared in 60-fold relative purity from the nonparticulate fraction of mouse kidney by denaturation at 60”, fractionation with (NH&S04, treatment with alumina gel Cr (pH 7.5), and dialysis in 0.02 M acetate buffer (pH 4.5). The’ optimal pH was 6.5. Cytidine, deoxycytidine, and I-/3-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine were deaminated, and the respective K, values were 7.53 x 10-5, 7.25 x 10d5, and 1.01 x 10W3. Divalent metals were not required for activity. Inhibition by p-chloromercuribenzoate indicated participation of sulfhydryl groups.

Comparative studies of the cytostatic action and metabolism of 5-azacytidine and 5,6-dihydro-5-azacytidine.

5,6-Dihydro-5-azacytidine hydrochloride, a chemically stable, soluble analog of 5-azacytidine, has cytostatic activity against mouse leukemic L1210 cells grown in culture, but concentrations on the order of 10 micronM, 10-fold higher, than the parent drug, are necessary to inhibit cell growth. The addition of either cytidine or uridine protected against growth inhibition by 5-azacytidine and 5,...

Regulation of activation-induced cytidine deaminase DNA deamination activity in B-cells by Ser38 phosphorylation.

Human and mouse Ig genes are diversified in mature B-cells by distinct processes known as Ig heavy-chain CSR (class switch recombination) and Ig variable-region exon SHM (somatic hypermutation). These DNA-modification processes are initiated by AID (activation-induced cytidine deaminase), a DNA cytidine deaminase predominantly expressed in activated B-cells. AID is post-transcriptionally regula...

Evolution of phosphorylation-dependent regulation of activation-induced cytidine deaminase.

Interaction of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) with replication protein A (RPA) has been proposed to promote AID access to transcribed double-stranded (ds) DNA during immunoglobulin light chain and heavy chain class switch recombination (CSR). Mouse AID (mAID) interaction with RPA and transcription-dependent dsDNA deamination in vitro requires protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation ...

Studies on the Metabolism of 5-Iodo-2’-deoxycytidine in Vitro

The rapid catabolism of 5-iododeoxyuridine in viva (I, 2) greatly reduces the potential clinical effectiveness of this compound as an antineoplastic agent (3). Since cytosine nucleosides are resistant to nucleosidase cleavage (4)) it appeared conceivable (5) that 5-iododeoxycytidine might enter cells and be phosphorylated to 5-iododeoxycytidine 5’-phosphate, a compound which, like the brominate...

nab-Paclitaxel potentiates gemcitabine activity by reducing cytidine deaminase levels in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer.

UNLABELLED Nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab)-paclitaxel, an albumin-stabilized paclitaxel formulation, demonstrates clinical activity when administered in combination with gemcitabine in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). The limited availability of patient tissue and exquisite sensitivity of xenografts to chemotherapeutics have limited our ability to address the me...
