Increased synthesis of ribonucleotide reductase after deoxyribonucleic acid inhibition in various species of bacteria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The specific activity of ribonucleotide reductase was found to increase significantly after deoxyribonucleic acid inhibition in seven species of bacteria investigated. This group of bacteria includes species with B12-dependent ribonucleotide reductase as well as some with an Escherichia coli-type ribonucleotide reductase.

Hydroxyurea reversal of inhibition and use as a cell-synchronizing agent.
Hydroxyurea inhibits deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis in mouse fibroblast (L) cells by inhibiting ribonucleotide reductase. No other site of action could be found. Inhibition can be reversed either by removal of the drug or by addition of deoxyribonucleosides. Although pyrimidine deoxyribonucleosides are readily phosphorylated by the cells, the corresponding purine compounds are largely converte...

متن کاملEffect of hydroxyurea on replication of bacteriophage T4 in Escherichia coli.
Hydroxyurea inhibited the replication of bacteriophage T4 in Escherichia coli B. The concentration of hydroxyurea required to inhibit net deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis 50% was about 50-fold less than that required in uninfected cells. Even in the presence of high hydroxyurea concentrations, phage DNA was readily synthesized from the products of breakdown of the E. coli DNA, and viable p...
متن کاملNalidixic acid: an antibacterial paradox.
Nalidixic acid was found to be most bactericidal against various species of gram-negative bacteria at 50 to 200 mug/ml. With all species tested, increases in the concentration of nalidixic acid above this range reduced, rather than increased, its bactericidal effect so that, at levels in the region of 400 mug/ml, the drug was relatively bacteriostatic. Therefore, the mode of action of nalidixic...
متن کاملEffects of X-rays on nucleic acid metabolism during cleavage and gastrulation in Pleurodeles waltlii eggs.
X-irradiation produces a rapid and substantial decrease in DNA synthesis in cleaving eggs of Pleurodeles, as shown by thymidine incorporation experiments; this decrease is presumably due to the arresting of the cell cycle in many blastomeres. DNA replication is partly resumed at the late blastula stage after irradiation at the 2to 4-cell stage. The present work demonstrates a high radiosensitiv...
