The isolation and properties of a mutant dependent upon exogenous carbamyl aspartate for resistance to 5-fluorouracil are described. The mutant was deficient in the synthesis of ubiquinone and accumulated a quinone provisionally identified as the ubiquinone precursor 2-octaprenyl-3-methyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone. The mutation resulted in an alteration in the regulation of synthesis of enzymes involved in de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis but did not establish a functional block in dihydroorotate dehydrogenase activity in vivo. Conditional resistance to 5-fluorouracil apparently occurred through an inhibition of the conversion of the analog to the nucleotide level.
本文描述了一种依赖外源性氨甲酰天冬氨酸来抵抗5-氟尿嘧啶的突变体的分离及其特性。该突变体在泛醌合成方面存在缺陷,并积累了一种暂时鉴定为泛醌前体2-辛戊烯基-3-甲基-6-甲氧基-1,4-苯醌的醌类物质。该突变导致从头嘧啶生物合成中相关酶的合成调控发生改变,但在体内二氢乳清酸脱氢酶活性方面并未形成功能性阻断。对5-氟尿嘧啶的条件抗性显然是通过抑制该类似物向核苷酸水平的转化而发生的。
