Culture supernatants contaminated by Mycoplasma arginini inhibit the incorporation of [3H]thymidine ([3H]dThd) by cytotoxic T lymphocyte cell lines. This study presents evidence that the inhibition of uptake of the nucleoside is due to the rapid cleavage of the exogenous [3H]dThd into thymine. Uridine and cytidine as well as dThd are degraded by the mycoplasma-contaminated supernatants, while no cleavage was observed with uninfected supernatants. Cells contaminated by mycoplasma apparently release a pyrimidine-specific nucleosidase, possibly a dThd phosphorylase, which is responsible for the inhibition.
被精氨酸支原体污染的培养上清液会抑制细胞毒性T淋巴细胞系对[3H]胸腺嘧啶核苷([3H]dThd)的掺入。本研究表明,核苷摄取受到抑制是由于外源性[3H]dThd迅速裂解为胸腺嘧啶。被支原体污染的上清液会降解尿苷、胞苷以及dThd,而未感染的上清液则未观察到裂解现象。被支原体污染的细胞显然会释放一种嘧啶特异性核苷酶,可能是一种dThd磷酸化酶,这就是造成抑制的原因。
