Metabolic Regulation of Cytoplasmic DNA Synthesis

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The regulation of cytoplasmic DNA synthesis by the metabolites ATP and citrate has been demonstrated. Other ribonucleoside and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates as well as α,β-methylene- and β,γ-methylene-ATP and α,β-methylene-ADP are able to partially substitute for ATP in stimulating the rate of DNA synthesis with the cytoplasmic DNA polymerase (DNA nucleotidyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.7) from bone marrow. The fact that the methylene analogs of ATP and ADP are effective in stimulating DNA synthesis indicates that the mechanism of stimulation does not involve ATP hydrolysis.
