The rate of deamination of 5'-deoxy-5'-S-isobutylthioadenosine [(iBuS5'Ado] in chick embryo fibroblasts was substantially reduced after their infection and morphological transformation by Rous sarcoma virus. Concomitant with the reduction in rate of (iBuS)5'Ado deamination there was a decrease in adenosine deaminase and 5'-adenylic acid deaminase activities. The drop of these activities was related to infection and not to the expression of the src gene. (iBuS)5'Ado was deaminated by at least three enzymes or isoenzymes whose apparent molecular weights have been estimated to be 295000, 121000 and 37000 respectively. Two of these enzymes have been characterized as 5'-adenylic acid deaminase and the heavy form of adenosine deaminase, respectively.

Incubation of African green monkey kidney (BS-C-1) cells and mouse fibroblasts (3T6) in the presence of adenosine for 4 hours resulted in increases in the nuclear compartment pools of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and nuclear ATP/adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) ratios. Adenine and inosine, which yield increases in total cellular ATP pools and ATP/ADP ratios similar to those promoted by adenosine, do not produce similar increases in the nuclear compartment. Adenosine-promoted increases in nuclear ATP pools were higher in the untransformed, serially propagated, BS-C-1 cells than in the spontaneously transformed 3T6 cells. Adenosine-promoted compartmentalized ATP pools in primary chick embryo fibroblasts were reduced upon transformation of these cells with Rous sarcoma virus, resulting in free mixing of all of the ATP pools synthesized from various salvage precursors. The growth regulatory properties of the nuclear compartment pools of adenine nucleotides is suggested by the big increases in nuclear ATPase and adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) deaminase activities upon the entry of 3T6 cells into the S phase of their cycle. These enzymatic activities would tend to lower the nuclear ATP/ADP ratios and reduce the total adenine nucleotide pools in these nuclei respectively--conditions which were shown by earlier in vitro studies to be favorable to DNA replication.
