  • Title: Effect of ATP analogs of DNA synthesis in isolated nuclei.
    Author: Hershey HV.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1977 Dec 02; 479(3):256-64. PubMed ID: 562678.
    Abstract:
    Optimal synthesis of DNA in Ehrlich ascites cell nuclei is shown to be dependent upon the presence of both ATP and ADP. ATP can be replaced only by dATP. An ATP regenerating system is less effective than ATP alone or ATP in combination with ADP. ATP does not stimulate DNA synthesis primarily by maintenance of deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate levels. When the inhibition of DNA synthesis by high ATP levels is taken into account, the ATP analogs adenosine 5'-(alpha,beta-methylene)triphosphate, adenosine 5'-(beta, gamma-methylene)-triphosphate, and adenosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imino)triphosphate can neither substitute for ATP nor inhibit the ATP stimulation of DNA synthesis. Adenosine 5'-(3-thio)triphosphate, however, is a competitive inhibitor of DNA synthesis.
