Cytidine deaminase (CDA) binds the inhibitor zebularine as its 3,4-hydrate (K(d) ~ 10(-12) M), capturing all but ~5.6 kcal/mol of the free energy of binding expected of an ideal transition state analogue (K(tx) ~ 10(-16) M). On the basis of
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
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

5-Fluoropyrimidines and 5-azapyrimidines were found in our laboratory to be specific inhibitors of modification reactions taking place at the 5 position of pyrimidines in nucleic acids. Thus, 5-fluorouracil and 5-fluorouridine specifically inhibit the formation of 5-methyluracil, pseudouridine, and 5,6-dihydrouracil in
