The 5'-deoxy-5'-iodo-substituted analogs of adenosine and inosine are cytotoxic to tumor cells that have high activities of
5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase
and purine nucleoside phosphorylase, respectively (Savarese, T.M., Chu, S-H., Chu, M.Y., and Parks, R. E., Jr. (1984) Biochem. Pharmacol. 34, 361-367). 5-Iodoribose 1-phosphate (5-IRib-1-P), the common intracellular metabolite of these 5'-iodonucleosides, has been synthesized enzymatically from 5'-deoxy-5'-iodoadenosine via
adenosine deaminase
from Aspergillus oryzae and human erythrocytic purine nucleoside phosphorylase. The purification and chemical properties of 5-IRib-1-P are described. The analog sugar phosphate inhibited purine nucleoside phosphorylase from human erythrocytes, phosphoglucomutase from rabbit muscle, and
5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase
from Sarcoma 180 cells with Ki values of 26, 100, and 9 microM, respectively. Enzymes that react with 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate (P-Rib-PP), P-Rib-PP amidotransferase, hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase, adenine phosphoribosyltransferase, and orotate phosphoribosyltransferase-orotidylate decarboxylase from extracts of Sarcoma 180 cells, were inhibited with Ki values of 49, 465, 307, and 275 microM, respectively. 5-IRib-1-P had no effect on P-Rib-PP synthetase. Since the Ki values of the analog sugar phosphate for
5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase
and P-Rib-PP amidotransferase are much lower than the Km values of the natural substrates, Pi or P-Rib-PP which are reported to be present at nonsaturating concentrations under physiological conditions, these enzymes could be significantly inhibited by 5-IRib-1-P in intact cells.

1. Activities of the following enzymes involved in adenine and adenosine metabolism were found in cell-free extracts from Euglena gracilis: acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2),
5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase
(EC 2.4.2.-), adenine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.2), adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.7) and adenosine kinase (EC 2.7.1.20). 2. The activities occurred both in heterotrophic and photoautotrophic cells and their levels did not change during light-induced chloroplast development. 3. Neither S-adenosylhomocysteinase (EC 3.3.1.1), 5'-methylthioadenosine nucleosidase (EC 3.2.2.9) and nucleoside phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.1.77) nor adenosine degrading enzymes:
adenosine deaminase
(
EC 3.5.4.4
), adenosine nucleosidase (EC 3.2.2.7), and purine-nucleoside (adenosine) phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.1) were found in the Euglena extracts. 4. Comparison of the adenine and adenosine metabolism in Euglena and in other organisms is comprehensively presented. The metabolism in Euglena gracilis differs from that in higher animals and plants.
