Oxidation Of Glucose

Studies have been made of the effects of metabolic inhibitors on the oxidation and incorporation of radioactivity into nucleotides of glucose labelled in the 1, 2, and 6 positions. The results indicate that in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells the predominant oxidative pathway is the hexosemonophosphate shunt. Investigation of the time courses of oxidation of the labelled glucose molecules confirms this conclusion. The pattern of incorporation of radioactivity initially suggests that nucleotide ribose is not formed via this pathway. However, it is shown that the coupling of an active transketolase system with the other enzymes of the hexosemonophosphate shunt provides a sufficient explanation of all the experimental observations. The conclusion is reached that pentose is formed by oxidation of glucose through the shunt but that the labelling pattern is largely established as the result of the exchange reaction catalyzed by transketolase.

Amino Acid Analogues

The cumulative entry of amino acids into Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells is due to the presence of active transport systems, each with its own specific range of substrates. Several amino acids and amino acid analogues may have an affinity for the same transport system and thus may inhibit transport of other amino acids by acting as competitive inhibitors or competitive substrates. Loss of methionine from ascites cells takes place by a diffusion process which obeys Fick's law. Leucine accumulation by ascites cells is small and is increased on addition of certain other amino acids. The increase is not due to inhibition of leucine oxidation as increase in the rate of production of radioactive carbon dioxide from labeled leucine also occurs. Kinetic aspects of these results are discussed.

Dna Synthesis Inhibition

Acidification of the cytoplasm of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells to pH 6.3 arrests DNA synthesis in these cells. Such an effect can be achieved by incubating the cells at pH 6.2 or by adding low concentrations of the K+/H+ antiporter, the antibiotic nigericin, at neutral pH. Glucose and anaerobiosis potentiate the nigericin effect. The inhibition of DNA synthesis by nigericin occurs without any significant decrease in the ATP concentration and in the mitochondrial membrane potential. The DNA synthesis inhibition is caused neither by a decrease in the intracellular [K+] nor by an increase in the intracellular [Na+] accompanying the nigericin effect (at least at low concentrations of the antibiotic). Nigericin should thus be regarded as a type of a cytostatic primarily affecting intracellular pH.
