Transcription of the murine D7Rp2e gene is highly variable among species of the genus Mus, indicating that extensive modifications in the gene's regulatory elements have occurred during evolution. Since promoter regions are well known to harbor cis-a

The use of ureteric stents in reimplantation surgery is important. The younger the patient, the more important the stenting of ureters post reimplantation becomes, because even minimal oedema following surgery will produce ureteric obstruction unless

Thymidylate synthase (TS) is a homodimeric enzyme that catalyzes the reductive methylation of dUMP by N5,N10-methylene-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acid, to form dTMP. Inhibition of TS by the dUMP analog 5-fluoro-dUMP (FdUMP) occurs through the formation

A major mechanism underlying the cytotoxicity of fluoropyrimidine analogs such as 5-fluorouracil and 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (FdUrd) occurs via the formation of 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridylate (FdUMP), a tight-binding inhibitor of thymidylate synthase (T

The human colorectal tumor cell line HCT 116 was resident to the cytotoxic effects of 5-fluorodeoxyuridine (FdUrd). The response to FdUrd was increased only slightly by the presence of 10 microM folinic acid (CF). HCT 116 formed FdUMP and CH2H4PteGlu

Structural changes in the macromolecular targets of pharmacological agents can result in alterations in the efficacy of these agents. In previous studies, we identified a variant structural form of thymidylate synthase (TS) that is associated with re

The RP2 gene is one of several genes that are regulated by androgens in the mouse kidney. Previous studies have demonstrated that androgen inducibility of RP2 transcription varies among species within the genus Mus, indicating extensive evolutionary

Previously, we identified an altered structural form of thymidylate synthase (TS) in a human colonic tumor cell line. This form, which is encoded by a variant structural gene, renders cells relatively resistant to 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine as a result

Androgen control of the RP2 gene in the mouse kidney has been modified during evolution. In inbred mice (Mus domesticus), the concentrations of mRNAs encoded by RP2 undergo a 10- to 12-fold induction in response to testosterone; in other Mus species

Inhibition of thymidylate synthase (TS) is an important mechanism of action of fluoropyrimidine antimetabolites. Thus, TS structure and expression are expected to be determinants of response to these agents. The role of TS in fluoropyrimidine respons
