Abstract:The amount of newly synthesized uracil nucleotides in mouse liver and intestine was determined by analysis of 15N incorporation into the uracil nucleotide pool of these tissues after intraperitoneal infusion of 15N-labelled amino acids. The appearance of newly synthesized uracil nucleotides was linear with time, and essentially independent of the rate of infusion of L-15N]alanine. Varying the amino acid used in the infusion could affect the enrichment in the uracil ring nitrogens, but had no significant effect on the calculated amount of de novo synthesis. These results demonstrate the utility of this method in measuring de novo uracil nucleotide synthesis in mouse liver and intestine in vivo. The method should be a valuable tool in the effort to understand the regulation and pharmacological manipulation of de novo uracil nucleotide synthesis.
