Abstract
Nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK), a ubiquitous enzyme, catalyses reversible transfer of the γ phosphate from nucleoside triphosphates to nucleoside diphosphates and functions to maintain the pools of ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides in the cell. As even a minor imbalance in the nucleotide pools can be mutagenic, NDK plays an antimutator role in maintaining genome integrity. However, the mechanism of the antimutator roles of NDK is not completely understood. In addition, NDKs play important roles in the host-pathogen interactions, metastasis, gene regulation, and various cellular metabolic processes. To add to these diverse roles of NDK in cells, a recent study now reveals that NDK may even confer mutator phenotypes to the cell by acting on the damaged deoxyribonucleoside diphosphates that may be formed during the oxidative stress. In this review, we discuss the roles of NDK in homeostasis of the nucleotide pools and genome integrity, and its possible implications in conferring growth/survival fitness to the organisms in the changing environmental niches.

Abstract
Replication of nuclear DNA in eukaryotes presents a tremendous challenge, not only due to the size and complexity of the genome, but also because of the time constraint imposed by a limited duration of S phase during which the entire genome has to be duplicated accurately and only once per cell division cycle. A challenge of this magnitude can only be met by the close coupling of DNA precursor synthesis to replication. Prokaryotic systems provide evidence for multienzyme and multiprotein complexes involved in DNA precursor synthesis and DNA replication. In addition, fractionation of nuclear proteins from proliferating mammalian cells shows co-sedimentation of enzymes involved in DNA replication with those required for synthesis of deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs). Such complexes can be isolated only from cells that are in S phase, but not from cells in G(0)/G(1) phases of cell cycle. The kinetics of deoxynucleotide metabolism supporting DNA replication in intact and permeabilized cells reveals close coupling and allosteric interaction between the enzymes of dNTP synthesis and DNA replication. These interactions contribute to channeling and compartmentation of deoxynucleotides in the microvicinity of DNA replication. A multienzyme and multiprotein megacomplex with these unique properties is called "replitase." In this article, we summarize some of the relevant evidence to date that supports the concept of replitase in mammalian cells, which originated from the observations in Dr. Pardee's laboratory. In addition, we show that androgen receptor (AR), which plays a critical role in proliferation and viability of prostate cancer cells, is associated with replitase, and that identification of constituents of replitase in androgen-dependent versus androgen-independent prostate cancer cells may provide insights into androgen-regulated events that control proliferation of prostate cancer cells and potentially offer an effective strategy for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Abstract
Although the nrdA101 allele codes for a ribonucleoside diphosphate (rNDP) reductase that is essentially destroyed in less than 2 min at 42 degrees C, and chemical inhibition of the enzyme by hydroxyurea stops DNA synthesis at once, we found that incubation at 42 degrees C of an Escherichia coli strain containing this allele allows DNA replication for about 40min. This suggests that mutant rNDP reductase is protected from thermal inactivation by some hyperstructure. If, together with the temperature upshift, RNA or protein synthesis is inhibited, the thermostability time of the mutant rNDP reductase becomes at least as long as the replication time and residual DNA synthesis becomes a run-out replication producing fully replicated chromosomes. This suggests that cessation of replication in the nrdA101 mutant strain is not the result of inactivation of its gene product but of the activity of a protein reflecting the presence of a partially altered enzyme. The absence of Tus protein, which specifically stops the replication complex by inhibiting replicative helicase activity, allows forks to replicate for a longer time at the restrictive temperature in the nrdA101 mutant strain. We therefore propose that rNDP reductase is a component of the replication complex, and that this association with other proteins protects the protein coded by allele nrdA101 from thermal inactivation.

Abstract
Thymine auxotrophy was shown to be associated with an increase in UV sensitivity both in Bacillus subtilis and in Escherichia coli. This UV sensitization became clearly evident in polA5 mutants of Bacillus subtilis: at UV doses of 16 J/m2, a reduction of more than 10-fold in the survivor population is observed in thymine requiring spontaneous mutants (polA5 thyA thyB) compared to the parental strains (polA5). Reversion of either thyA or thyB mutation led to a partial recovery in the UV resistance. This result suggests that DNA repair polymerization might be improved by the biosynthesis of thymidylate or some effect associated with such activity.

Abstract
To understand the molecular basis of mutation stimulated by deoxyribonucleotide pool imbalance, we studied a temperature-sensitive T4 phage gene 42 mutant (LB3), which specifies a thermolabile deoxycytidylate hydroxymethylase. Analysis of rII mutations, revertible to wild type along either GC-to-AT or AT-to-GC transition pathways, showed 8- to 80-fold stimulation of GC-to-AT mutations at a semi-permissive temperature (34 degrees C). One such marker, rII SN103, which showed the highest stimulation at 34 degrees C, was sequenced after amplification of the template by polymerase chain reaction. The mutant site in rII SN103 was identified at nucleotide position 265 from the rII B translational start as an AT-to-GC transition, which changes TCA to CCA. Sequence analysis of revertants and pseudorevertants generated at 34 degrees C showed that both cytosines within this triplet can undergo change to either thymine or adenine, consistent with the hypothesis that hydroxymethyldeoxycytidine triphosphate pools are depleted at replication sites. However, dNTP pool measurements in extracts of 34 degrees C cultures showed no significant deviations from values obtained at 30 degrees C, suggesting that pool imbalances occur only locally, close to replication forks. Our studies support the hypothesis that the mutator phenotype displayed by ts LB3 at semi-permissive temperature is a consequence of perturbation of the flow of nucleotide precursors into the DNA replication machinery. A putative localized depletion of hm-dCTP presumably enlarges effective dTTP/hm-dCTP and dATP/hm-dCTP pool ratios, resulting in the observed C-to-T transition and C-to-A transversion mutations.

Abstract
DNA replitase has been described as a complex of enzymes/proteins that are associated with both DNA precursor biosynthesis and DNA replication in mammalian cells [Reddy, G. P. V., and Pardee, A. B. (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77, 3312-3316]. We demonstrate for the first time a 3'----5' exodeoxyribonuclease activity is associated with the replitase complex. As much as 60% of this exonuclease activity was similar to that associated with DNA polymerase delta based upon its sensitivity to inhibition by GMP and by butyl-phenyl-deoxyguanosine triphosphate (BuPdGTP). Association of 3'----5' exonuclease activity with the DNA polymerase in the replitase complex was also demonstrated by analyzing dTTP turnover to dTMP in an in vitro DNA polymerase assay system. The DNA polymerase activity in replitase complex exhibited a sensitivity to BuPdGTP which both was similar to that of DNA replication in permeable cells and was intermediate between the BuPdGTP inhibition of purified DNA polymerases alpha and delta. These studies suggest that the replitase complex contains 3'----5' exonuclease activity associated with the DNA polymerase activity responsible for nuclear DNA replication in mammalian cells. Further studies are required to determine if these activities are at least partially attributed to DNA polymerase delta.

Abstract
We have isolated a highly enriched preparation of the multienzyme complex which synthesizes deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) from bacteriophage T4-infected bacteria. By a combination of SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and assays for specific enzyme activities, we have been able to identify in our final preparation ten different gene products which were previously identified as constituents of this complex, based upon studies with crude preparations. The complex dissociates at high concentrations of NaCl and MgCl2 but is stable under ionic conditions thought to exist in vivo. The purified complex catalyzes the efficient five-step conversion of dCTP to dTTP. Experiments with several T4 mutants have demonstrated that gene products encoded by cd, regA, nrdA, and nrdB are necessary to retain physical integrity of the complex throughout the preparative procedure, while gp44, gp55, and gppseT are not required. We conclude from this evidence that the T4 early gene products which function in dNTP biosynthesis are, in fact, physically linked as a multienzyme complex, and that regA contributes to the integrity of this complex. However, the dNTP-synthesizing complex as we isolate it contains no detectable DNA polymerase, nor have other known replication proteins been detected.

Abstract
Confirmatory evidence for the existence of a multienzyme complex of DNA precursor pathways in mammalian cells was obtained. Using neutral sucrose gradient centrifugation of cell lysates we found that at least five enzymes involved in DNA precursor metabolism in uninfected. S-phase BHK-cell fibroblasts cosediment at a common rate, indicative of a multienzyme complex. The enzymes include DNA polymerase thymidine kinase, ribonucleotide reductase, dihydrofolate reductase, and NDP-kinase. This complex was partially, but not completely, disrupted when lysates from GO-phase cells were centrifuged. Using lysates from cells infected with herpes simplex virus (HSV) type I some of the virus-induced ribonucleotide reductase and a minor proportion of the HSV-thymidine kinase cosedimented rapidly. The virus-induced DNA polymerase sedimented independently near the middle of the gradient, in contrast to the behaviour of the host polymerase. The enzyme associations observed were disrupted by NaCl or by inclusion of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid during the cell lysis procedure, instead of the usual EGTA. These results indicate the importance of ionic forces in maintaining the enzyme complexes. The bulk of the DNA and the RNA present in the lysates did not sediment at the same rate as the complexes, showing that the enzymes were not simply adhering nonspecifically to these polyanions. Newly synthesised radiolabeled DNA (15 min pulse with [3H]thymidine) was not preferentially associated with the enzymes, but some functional DNA was evident in the enzyme complex fraction from the uninfected S-phase cells. DNA polymerase activity in this fraction did not require, nor was it stimulated by, exogenous "activated" DNA. Added DNA primer-template was required, however, for maximal activity of the polymerase in gradient fractions derived from GO-phase cells and from HSV-infected cells. No evidence for channeling of ribonucleotide precursors into DNA of permeabilized cells (uninfected or HSV-infected) was detected. Most rCDP was incorporated into RNA. In the uninfected, S-phase cells about 10 pmol/10(6) cells/90 min of rCDP residues was incorporated into DNA compared with 120 pmol/10(6) cells/90 min when radiolabeled dCTP was used. Nonradioactive dCTP present in equimolar concentration in the incubation with labeled rCDP did not, however, diminish the incorporation of label from the ribonucleotide. In permeabilized HSV-infected cells incorporation of radiolabel from rCDP into DNA was barely detectable.

Abstract
The 72 enzymes in nucleotide metabolism, from all sources, have a distribution of subunit sizes similar to those from other surveys: an average subunit Mr of 47,900, and a median size of 33,300. The same enzyme, from whatever source, usually has the same subunit size (there are exceptions); enzymes having a similar activity (e.g., kinases, deaminases) usually have a similar subunit size. Most simple enzymes in all EC classes (except class 6, ligases/synthetases) have subunit sizes of less than 30,000. Since structural domains defined in proteins tend to be in the Mr range of 5,000 to 30,000, it may be that most simple enzymes are formed as single domains. Multifunctional proteins and ligases have subunits generally much larger than Mr 40,000. Analyses of several well-characterized ligases suggest that they also have two or more distinct catalytic sites, and that ligases therefore are also multifunctional proteins, containing two or more domains. Cooperative kinetics and evidence for allosteric regulation are much more frequently associated with larger enzymes: such complex functions are associated with only 19% of enzymes having a subunit Mr less than or equal to 29,000, and with 86% of all enzymes having a subunit Mr greater than 50,000. In general, larger enzymes have more functions. Only 20% of these enzymes appear to be monomers; the rest are homopolymers and rarely are they heteropolymers. Evidence for the reversible dissociation of homopolymers has been found for 15% of the enzymes. Such changes in quaternary structure are usually mediated by appropriate physiological effectors, and this may serve as a mechanism for their regulation between active and less active forms. There is considerable structural organization of the various pathways: 19 enzymes are found in various multifunctional proteins, and 13 enzymes are found in different types of multienzyme complexes.

Abstract
Although research on mammalian ribonucleotide reductase and its role in cell replication has been intensified in recent years, there remain several areas in which there is not uniform agreement with respect to several of its important properties. The major issues include: 1) whether there is one enzyme which catalyzes the reduction of all four substrates or several enzymes for the four substrates; 2) whether the two subunits are coordinately regulated as the cells pass from G1 to S during the cell cycle; if not which subunit represents the limiting component and what are the respective half-lives of the individual subunits; 3) whether the allosteric regulation which has been demonstrated in the test tube is the actual mechanism in the intact cells; and 4) is mammalian ribonucleotide reductase part of an enzyme complex which channels ribonucleoside diphosphates into DNA. The data which have appeared in the literature are discussed in the context of these unresolved questions.

Abstract
DNA precursor biosynthesis is closely coordinated with DNA replication itself. In prokaryotic systems, firm evidence supports the idea that this coordination is achieved through the action of multienzyme complexes that physically link the synthesis of deoxyribonucleotides with their utilization in DNA replication. Much evidence favors a similar channeling mechanism in eukaryotes. However, recent studies suggest strongly that in mammalian cells DNA precursors are synthesized in cytoplasm and are then transported into the nucleus. This article reviews the pertinent evidence, attempts to reconcile contradictory findings, and highlights areas that need further investigation.

Abstract
DNA-replication fork displacement rates were measured in mouse S49 lymphosarcoma cell lines and in derivatives of those cell lines. One of the derivatives lacks dCMP deaminase activity and two others bear defined mutations in ribonucleotide reductase. We also examined a revertant cell line that was selected from one of the ribonucleotide reductase mutants and has regained normal ribonucleotide reductase activity. Our results show a correlation between decreased fork-displacement rates and alterations in ribonucleotide reductase, suggesting a possible involvement of this enzyme in the replication apparatus.

Abstract
T4-infected cells, plasmolysed 15 min after infection, incorporate low concentrations (less than 20 microM) of deoxythymidine (TdR) into DNA at a significantly greater rate than dTMP, dTTP or thymine. At higher concentrations (greater than 40 microM), dTMP incorporation rate is high, approaching that of TdR at 200 microM. TdR is selectively incorporated at all concentrations tested, and is not inhibited by the other thymine containing DNA precursors. Incorporation of low concentrations of TdR requires the T4-induced thymidine kinase (tk) and is not significantly affected by the presence or absence of T4-induced thymidylate synthetase (td). We show that, in T4-infected plasmolysed cells, exogenously added TdR is preferentially incorporated into short DNA fragments during short pulse times. To explain these and other data a model is proposed in which thymidine plays a modulatory role between leading and lagging strand precursor feeds.
