RESUMO
Lactobacillus acidophilus R-26 a strain deficient in ribonucleotide reductase, was grown with [G-14C]deoxycytidine as the only source of deoxyribose in the medium. Of the radioactivity incorporated into deoxyribonucleic acid, a fifth moved directly into deoxyribonucleic acid deoxycytidylate, without deamination. Furthermore, deoxycytidine and thymidine nucleotides had similar sugar/base ratios, suggesting a direct conversion of deoxycytidine nucleotides to thymidine nucleotides through deamination, without further dilution by glycosyl transfer. Although radioactivity was incorporated into both the sugar and base moieties of deoxyribonucleic acid pyrimidine deoxyribonucleotides, only the sugar moiety of purine deoxyribonucleotides was labeled. Purine deoxyribonucleotides probably were synthesized by glycosyl transfer from [G-14C]deoxycytidine to unlabeled purines, followed by phosphorylation of the deoxynucleotides.
