Cytidine metabolism in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was analyzed by genetic and biochemical approaches. Disruption of a unique ORF (Genbank accession No. U 20865) bearing homology with eucaryotic or bacterial cytidine deaminases abolished cytidine deaminase activity and resulted in 5-fluorocytidine

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
The clinical emergence of lamivudine and adefovir resistance mutations on prolonged therapy further necessitates the development of additional drugs for the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. We have evaluated a number of novel 2'-fluoro-2',3'-unsaturated D- and L-nucleosides for
The effects of 5-fluorocytidine on ribosomal RNA maturation and structure in Novikoff hepatoma cells were investigated. Like other nucleic acid base analogues that are incorporated into RNA, this compound inhibits maturation of the 45S ribosomal RNA precursor. The 45S RNA
