Popis: Effects of transformation by Rous sarcoma virus of Schmidt-Ruppin strain on the activities of key enzymes of the glycolytic and the hexose monophosphate shunt pathways in chick-embryo cells were investigated. Activities of hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and glucose-6- P dehydrogenase were increased about twofold in the transformed cells, but that of 6- P -gluconate dehydrogenase remained unaltered. The transformation-mediated increase in the activity of hexokinase was confined entirely to the bound form of the enzyme. Cells infected with a temperature-sensitive mutant (Ts-68) of Schmidt-Ruppin strain of Rous sarcoma virus showed the typical increase in the rate of 2-deoxyglucose uptake and the activities of hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase, and glucose-6- P dehydrogenase at the permissive temperature (37 °C), but when the infected cells were grown at the nonpermissive temperature (41 °C), the increases in the sugar uptake and activities of these enzymes were abolished. Unlike the regulatory enzymes, lactate dehydrogenase activity was increased at both the permissive and the nonpermissive temperatures.
