1. Extracts of several plant species contained nucleoside-AMP phosphotransferase activity. The ratio of activity with thymidine to that with uridine as nucleoside substrate was essentially constant, both between species and throughout plant development. Evidence is presented that the total thymidine-AMP phosphotransferase activity of the leaves of Asplenium nidus (bird's-nest fern) and of Helianthus tuberosus (Jerusalem artichoke) increases during maturation. 2. Thymidine-AMP phosphotransferase was purified 22-fold from a very rich source of this activity, extracts of A. nidus. 3. A broad specificity towards both nucleoside and nucleoside 5'-monophosphate substrates is displayed by this preparation, and the evidence suggests that all could be due to a single enzyme. 4. Nucleosides that act as substrates will also inhibit phosphotransfer to other nucleosides, with Ki values close to the corresponding Km values found when utilized as substrates. 5. Ca2+-activated ATP phosphohydrolase was separated from the phosphotransferase by differential complexing to Blue Dextran in the presence of urea, whereas an AMP phosphohydrolase activity was closely associated with thymidine-AMP phosphotransferase through all separation techniques used. 6. Metal ions did not activate either of the latter two activities, and 1,10-phenanthroline was found to inhibit the phosphotransferase. 7. Km values for AMP for the respective activities were 0.11 mM (thymidine phosphotransferase) and 0.20 mM (AMP phosphohydrolase) and for thymidine (phosphotransferase only) 0.88 mM. 8. 3':5'-Cyclic AMP was found to inhibit both phosphotransferase and AMP phosphohydrolase activities, with Ki values of 0.056 mM and 0.15 mM respectively. It is suggested that this inhibitor would be of value in revealing the existence of thymidine kinase in plant extracts with high thymidine phosphotransferase activity.

The activities of dTMP kinase (ATP-deoxythymidine monophosphate phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.4.9), 5'-nucleotidase (5'-ribonucleoside phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.5), adenosine deaminase (adenosine aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.4), AMP deaminase (AMP aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.3.6) and ATP-(Mg2+)-ase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) were assayed in mitochondria of normal and regenerating rat liver. In regenerating mitochondria, the dTMP kinase activity increased 20 times, 5'-nucleotidase (5'Nase) activity for dTMP diminished by 65% and its activity for other nucleoside monophosphates did not change; adenosine deaminase activity for adenosine (AR) increased by 40%, but for deoxyadenosine (AdR) decreased by 70%. AMP deaminase and ATP-(Mg2+)-ase activities behaved similarly in mitochondria from regenerating liver, decreasing by 70 and 64% respectively. The changes of the amount of dTMP in mitochondria depend on enzyme activities which regulate the AdR concentration.

The activities of 5'-nucleotidase (5'-ribonucleoside phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.5); adenosine deaminase (adenosine aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.4); AMP deaminase (AMP aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.3.6), and ATP-(Mg2+)-ase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) were assayed in mitochondria of normal and regenerating rat liver 5'-Nucleotidase (5'Nase) and ATP-(Mg2+)-ase activities were compared with similar enzyme activities in the plasma membrane (PM) fraction, obtained from the same biological material. In the regenerating liver, 5'Nase for dTMP diminished its activity by 56% (24 h after partial hepatectomy) and 35 +/- 4% for all substrates in the PM fraction (48 h after operation). In mitochondria, 5'Nase for dTMP manifests sigmoidal substrate activity curve (in contrast with all substrates in the PM fraction and remaining substrates in mitochondria). In vivo 5-azacytidine (a) administered 1 h after partial hepatectomy, prevented changes of 5'Nase activity: (b) administered 24 or 48 h after partial hepatectomy, stabilized low 5'Nase activity (in mitochondria for dTMP, in the PM fraction for all substrates) and decreased ATP-(Mg2+)-ase activity by 51 and 31% in mitochondria and the PM fraction respectively.
