WI-L2 cells (a B-lymphoblastoid cell line) were more resistant than CEM cells (a T-lymphoblastoid cell line) to deoxyadenosine, ara-A (9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyladenine), or ara-C (1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine) inhibition. This was caused by a difference in the composition of cytosol 5'-nucleotidases between WI-L2 and CEM cells. In intact cells, the endogenous production of deoxyadenosine from WI-L2 cells deficient in adenosine kinase (EC 2.7.1.20) and deoxycytidine kinase (EC 2.7.1.74) was consistently high, despite changes in endogenous adenosine production. Endogenous production of deoxyadenosine from CEM cells deficient in adenosine kinase and deoxycytidine kinase was, however, coordinated with endogenous adenosine production. In broken cells, cytosol dAMPase (2'-deoxyadenosine 5'-monophosphate 5'-nucleotidase) activity of WI-L2 cells was 3-5-fold higher than that of CEM cells. dAMPase activity could be separated from ATP-activated IMPase (inosine 5'-monophosphate 5'-nucleotidase) by gel filtration (molecular weight: dAMPase; 39,000-46,000; ATP-activated IMPase, greater than 150,000). Cytosol ATP-activated IMPase and dAMPase were isolated by phosphocellulose or DEAE-Bio-Gel A chromatography from non-specific phosphatases. The ATP-activated IMPase showed only marginal activity towards dAMP (2'-deoxyadenosine 5'-monophosphate), ara-AMP (9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyladenine 5'-monophosphate), or ara-CMP (cytosine-beta-D-arabinofuranoside 5'-monophosphate), even in the presence of ATP. The activity of ATP-activated IMPase was similar in WI-L2 and CEM cells. dAMPase was separated into two peaks by DEAE-Bio-Gel A chromatography; one of these peaks degraded ara-AMP and ara-CMP. The activities of both peaks from WI-L2 cells were higher than those from CEM cells. These results show that the degradation of dAMP, ara-AMP or ara-CMP was more specific and rapid in WI-L2 than in CEM cells.

1. The role of adenosine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.4), ecto-(5'-nucleotidase) (EC 3.1.3.5) and ecto-(non-specific phosphatase) in the CN-induced catabolism of adenine nucleotides in intact rat polymorphonuclear leucocytes was investigated by inhibiting the enzymes in situ. 2. KCN (10mM for 90 min) induced a 20-30% fall in ATP concentration accompanied by an approximately equimolar increase in hypoxanthine, ADP, AMP and adenosine concentrations were unchanged, and IMP and inosine remained undetectable ( less than 0.05 nmol/10(7) cells). 3. Cells remained 98% intact, as judged by loss of the cytoplasmic enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27). 4. Pentostatin (30 microM), a specific inhibitor of adenosine deaminase, completely inhibited hypoxanthine production from exogenous adenosine (55 microM), but did not black CN-induced hypoxanthine production or cause adenosine accumulation in intact cells. This implied that IMP rather than adenosine was an intermediate in AMP breakdown in response to cyanide. 5. Antibodies raised against purified plasma-membrane 5'-nucleotidase inhibited the ecto-(5'-nucleotidase) by 95-98%. Non-specific phosphatases were blocked by 10 mM-sodium beta-glycerophosphate. 6. These two agents together blocked hypoxanthine production from exogenous AMP and IMP (200 microM) by more than 90%, but had no effect on production from endogenous substrates. 7. These data suggest that ectophosphatases do not participate in CN-induced catabolism of intracellular AMP in rat polymorphonuclear leucocytes. 8. A minor IMPase, not inhibited by antiserum, was detected in the soluble fraction of disrupted cells.
