Early embryonic development is characterized by rapid cleavage divisions, which impose significant constraints on metabolic pathways. In this issue, Song et al. (2017) show that Drosophila embryos synthesize a large fraction of nucleotides on the go and that negative feedback between dATP and ribonucleotide reductase ensures tight control of dNTP concentration.
早期胚胎发育的特点是快速的卵裂分裂,这对代谢途径施加了重大限制。在本期杂志中,Song 等人(2017 年)表明,果蝇胚胎在活动中合成大量核苷酸,并且 dATP 和核糖核苷酸还原酶之间的负反馈确保了 dNTP 浓度的紧密控制。
