Abstract
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug in colorectal cancer. Previous studies showed that 5-FU modulates RNA metabolism and mRNA expression. In addition, it has been reported that 5-FU incorporates into the RNAs constituting the translational machinery and that 5-FU affects the amount of some mRNAs associated with ribosomes. However, the impact of 5-FU on translational regulation remains unclear. Using translatome profiling, we report that a clinically relevant dose of 5-FU induces a translational reprogramming in colorectal cancer cell lines. Comparison of mRNA distribution between polysomal and non-polysomal fractions in response to 5-FU treatment using microarray quantification identified 313 genes whose translation was selectively regulated. These regulations were mostly stimulatory (91%). Among these genes, we showed that 5-FU increases the mRNA translation of HIVEP2, which encodes a transcription factor whose translation in normal condition is known to be inhibited by mir-155. In response to 5-FU, the expression of mir-155 decreases thus stimulating the translation of HIVEP2 mRNA. Interestingly, the 5-FU-induced increase in specific mRNA translation was associated with reduction of global protein synthesis. Altogether, these findings indicate that 5-FU promotes a translational reprogramming leading to the increased translation of a subset of mRNAs that involves at least for some of them, miRNA-dependent mechanisms. This study supports a still poorly evaluated role of translational control in drug response.

Abstract
Early metabolic events in Escherichia coli exposed to nalidixic acid, a topoisomerase II inhibitor and an inducer of the SOS system, were investigated by in vivo NMR spectroscopy, a technique that permits monitoring of bacteria under controlled physiological conditions. The energetics of AB1157 (wild type) and of its isogenic, SOS-defective mutants, recBC, lexA, and DeltarecA, were studied by 31P and 19F NMR before, during, and after exposure to nalidixic acid. The content of the NTP in E. coli embedded in agarose beads and perfused at 36 degreesC was found to be 4.3 +/- 1.1 x 10(-18) mol/cell, yielding a concentration of approximately 2.7 +/- 0.7 mM. Nalidixic acid induced in the wild type and mutants a rapid 2-fold increase in the content of the NTP, predominantly ATP. This induction did not involve synthesis of uracil derivatives or breakdown of RNA and caused cell proliferation to stop. Removal of nalidixic acid after 40 min of treatment rescued the cells and resulted in a decrease of ATP to control levels and resumption of proliferation. However, in DeltarecA cells, which were more sensitive to the activity of the drug, ATP elevation could not be reversed, and ATP content continued to increase faster than in control cells. The results ruled out association between the elevation of ATP and the induction of the SOS system and suggested involvement of a process reminiscent of apoptosis in the stimulation of ATP synthesis. Thus, the presence of the RecA protein was found to be essential for reversing the ATP increase and cell rescue, possibly by its function in repair of DNA damage.

Abstract
RNAs isolated from Escherichia coli B grown in the presence of 5-fluorouracil have high levels of the analog replacing uridine and uridine-derived modified nucleosides. Cytidine has also been shown to be replaced in these RNAs by 5-fluorocytidine, a metabolic product of 5-fluorouracil, but to a considerably lesser extent. When 5-fluorocytidine is added to cultured of E. coli B little 5-fluorocytidine (0.20 mol%) is incorporated into cellular RNAs because of the active cytosine/cytidine deaminase activities. Addition of the cytidine deaminase inhibitor tetrahydrouridine (70 micrograms/ml) increases 5-fluorocytidine incorporation to about 3 mol% in tRNAs, but does not eliminate 5-fluorouridine incorporation. E. coli mutants lacking cytosine/cytidine deaminase activities are able to more than double the extent of 5-fluorocytidine incorporation into their transfer and ribosomal RNAs, replacing cytidine with no detectable 5-fluorouridine incorporation. Levels of 5-methyluridine, pseudouridine and dihydrouridine in tRNAs are not affected. These fluorocytidine-containing tRNAs show amino acid-accepting activities similar to control tRNAs. Fluorocytidine was found to be quite susceptible to deamination under alkaline conditions. Its conversion to primarily 5-fluorouridine follows pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics with a half-life of 10 h in 0.3 M KOH at 37 degrees C. This instability in alkali probably explains why 5-fluorocytidine was not found earlier in RNAs isolated from cells treated with 5-fluorouridine, since most early RNA hydrolyses were carried out in alkali. It may also explain the mild mutagenic properties observed in some systems following 5-fluorouridine treatment. Initial 19F-NMR measurements in fluorocytidine-containing tRNAs indicate that this modified tRNA may be useful in future structural studies of tRNAs and in probing tRNA-protein complexes.

Abstract
19F resonances from RNA with 5-fluorouracil incorporated could be observed in intact Escherichia coli cells, as well as in tRNA isolated from the cells. 19F-NMR signals from the metabolic breakdown products of the fluorinated RNA were also detected in vivo. By observing the 19F-NMR spectrum, variations in the metabolic disposition of administered 5-fluorouracil could be monitored as a function of time and be compared when the cells were deprived of oxygen and other nutrients, subjected to ethidium bromide treatment, or grown in the presence of mitomycin C.

Abstract
The fluorodihydrouridine derivative previously detected in one of two isoaccepting forms of FUra-substituted Escherichia coli tRNAMetf has been further characterized. This substituent is responsible for the 19F resonance observed 15 ppm upfield from free FUra (= 0 ppm) in the high resolution 19F-NMR spectra of FUra-substituted tRNA purified by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, at pH 8.9, to remove normal tRNA. Similar highfield 19F signals have now been observed in the spectra of two other purified fluorinated E. coli tRNAs, tRNAMetm and tRNAVal1, as well as in unfractionated tRNA, indicating the widespread occurrence of the constituent. Comparison with 19F spectrum of the model compound 5'-deoxy-5-fluoro-5,6-dihydrouridine (dH56FUrd) (delta FUra = -31.4 ppm; JHF = 48 Hz) indicates that the substituent does not contain an intact fluorodihydrouridine ring. dH56FUrd is considerably more alkali labile than 5,6-dihydrouridine (H56Urd). At pH 8.9, where H56Urd is stable, dH56FUrd is degraded to a derivative, presumably a fluoroureidopropionic acid, with a 19F resonance at - 15.7 ppm that nearly coincides with the upfield peak in the spectrum of pH 8.9-treated tRNA. The 19F-NMR spectrum of fluorinated tRNA, not exposed to pH 8.9, exhibits two peaks 31 and 32 ppm upfield of FUra, in place of the 19F signal at - 15 ppm. Hydrolysis of this tRNA with RNAase T2 produces a sharp doublet 33 ppm upfield (JHF = 45 Hz). Similarities of the 19F chemical shift and coupling constant to those of dH56FUrd, allows assignment of the peak at -33 ppm to an intact fluorodihydrouridine residue in the tRNA. Our results demonstrate that FUra residues incorporated into E. coli tRNA at sites normally occupied by dihydrouridine can be recognized by tRNA-modifying enzymes and reduced to fluorodihydrouridine. This substituent is labile at moderately alkaline pH values and undergoes ring-opening during purification of the tRNA.

Abstract
Transfer RNAs from Escherichia coli B treated with either 5-fluorouracil or its analog, 1-(tetrahydro-2-furanyl)-5-fluorouracil (ftorafur), contain low levels of 5-fluorouracil, but are grossly deficient in pseudouridine and 5-methyluridine. The enzymes responsible for the formation of these two modified nucleosides, tRNA pseudouridine synthetase and (5-methyluridine)-methyltransferase, show substantially reduced activity levels in extracts from ftorafur- and 5-fluorouracil-treated cells relative to preparations from normal cells. When these tRNA-modifying activities are examined in vitro, both are inhibited by the addition of fluorouridine-containing tRNAs to the reaction mixtures. Pseudouridine synthetase activity shows potent inhibition. These inhibitory properties of fluorouridine-containing tRNAs, plus the inability of tRNA (5-methyluridine)-methyl-transferase to efficiently use fluorouridine-containing tRNAs as substrates, appear to account for the deficiency of 5-methyluridine and pseudouridine in tRNAs from cells containing low levels of 5-fluorouracil.

Abstract
Escherichia coli cells grown on a medium containing 5-fluorouracil (FU) produce 5S RNA whose uracil residues are approximately 80% replaced by FU. The Raman spectra of native and FU-5S RNA are very similar, confirming similar solution conformations for the two species and a highly base-stacked structure in solution. The 254-MHz 19F NMR spectrum of FU-5S RNA shows that the 20-odd FU residues reside in at least ten distinct chemical environments, suggesting a highly ordered structure. Comparison of theoretical and experimental 19F(1H) nuclear Overhauser enhancements demonstrates definitively that virtually all the labeled uracils are bound to a rigid macromolecular frame, with a rotational correlation time of about 19 ns or longer. Since these uracils are widely distributed throughout the nucleotide primary sequence, it may be concluded that the entire FU-5S RNA solution structure is relatively rigid, in agreement with the most recently proposed "cloverleaf" secondary structural model for native prokaryotic 5S RNA.

Abstract
Yeast cells grown in the presence of the drug FUra synthesize RNA in which Urd is partially replaced by FUrd. Transfer RNAs in which 1.5-50% of the Urd has been replaced by FUrd have been isolated and their base compositions measured to determine the effect of FUrd incorporation on posttranscriptional nucleoside modification. This replacement results in an extensive reduction in the amounts of Thd, H56Urd and psird found in mature tRNA. Quantitatively, the reduction of psird greater than or equal to Thd greater than H56Urd. The losses of psird, Thd and H56Urd are greater than can be accounted for by the stoichiometry of FUrd incorporation. The formation of 5-MeCyd is not affected by the drug, whereas the methylated purines show substoichiometric losses in FUrd-containing tRNAs. In Escherichia coli, we have not observed any effects of FUra on the methylated purine content, although the effects on psird, Thd and H56Urd are similar. These findings indicate that (a) in both pro- and eukaryotic systems the enzymes responsible for psird, Thd and H56Urd formation are affected by FUra treatment in a similar manner; (b) prokaryotic purine methylases may be more tolerant of structural aberrations resulting from FUrd incorporation than eukaryotic methylases and (c) different methylases within one system show different sensitivities as shown by those responsible for 1-MeAdo and 5-MeCyd formation.

Abstract
Transfer RNAs isolated from Escherichia coli B grown in the presence of 5-fluorouracil (FIUra) show variations in their aminoacylation levels when compared with normal samples. Some of these variations result from the more stringent aminoacylation reaction conditions required for FIUra-tRNAs. Increasing the reaction pH from 7 to 9 for example, generally causes a lowering of amino acid acceptance by the analog-containing tRNAs, while leaving control samples largely unchanged. This decreased activity appears to result primarily from fluorouracil ionization, which in turn disrupts intramolecular hydrogen bonding and promotes an overall increase in the molecular dimensions of FIUra-tRNAs at elevated pH values. Sensitivity to pH differes with the amino acid examined, with lysine showing dramatic changes and glutamine and proline being largely unaffected.

Abstract
5-Fluorouracil (FU), 5-fluorocytosine, and the riboside and deoxyriboside derivatives of these fluoropyrimidines each exhibit a different spectrum of inhibitory effects in pneumococci. The biochemical basis of this finding seems to be the extremely low level of nucleoside phosphorylase (hydrolase) and N-trans-deoxyribosylase activity in pneumococcus and the consequent, relatively limited metabolic interconversion of the different fluoropyrimidines, which can therefore selectively affect one or the other of the several drug-sensitive biochemical reactions in this bacterium. Special attention was paid to the effect of fluoropyrimidines on the metabolism of cytosine and thymidine. In spite of the fact that FU is converted to both fluorouridine triphosphate and fluorocytidine triphosphate, only fluorouridylate but no fluorocytidylate can be detected in the ribonucleic acid Exogenous FU and fluorouridine also inhibit the synthesis of cytosine nucleotides from supplied uridine in a pyrimidine auxotroph. Thymidine was found to be a poor reversing agent for any of the fluoropyrimidine inhibitions. In both the wild type and in a thymidine-requiring (thymidylate-synthetase deficient) mutant, growing with supplied thymidine in the medium, fluorodeoxyuridine (FUdR) treatment caused cell death and inhibition of the incorporation of radioactive thymidine, adenosine, or uracil into deoxyribonucleic acid. It is suggested that FUdR (or a metabolic derivative) inhibits the transport of phosphorylation of thymidine in this microorganism.
