- W1567756114 abstract "Since eucaryotic cell-derived thymidine or thymidine nucleotides are not incorporated into Chlamydia trachomatis DNA, we hypothesized that C. trachomatis must obtain dTTP for DNA synthesis by converting dUMP to dTMP. In most cells, this reaction is catalyzed by thymidylate synthase (TS) and requires 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate as a cofactor. We used C. trachomatis serovar L2 and a mutant CHO K1 cell line with a genetic deficiency in folate metabolism as a host for chlamydial growth. This cell line lacks a functional dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene and, as a result, is unable to carry out de novo synthesis of dTTP. C. trachomatis inclusions form normally when DHFR- cells are starved for thymidine 24 h prior to and during the course of infection. When [6-3H]uridine is used as a precursor to label C. trachomatis-infected CHO DHFR- cells, radiolabel is readily incorporated into chlamydia-specific DNA. When DNA from [6-3H]uridine-labelled infected cultures is acid hydrolyzed and subjected to high-performance liquid chromatography analysis, radiolabel is detected in thymine and cytosine nucleobases. By using the DHFR- cell line as a host and [5-3H]uridine as a precursor, we could monitor intracellular C. trachomatis TS activity simply by following the formation of tritiated water. There is a good correlation between in situ TS activity and DNA synthesis activity during the chlamydial growth cycle. In addition, both C. trachomatis-specific DNA synthesis and 3H2O release are inhibited by exogenously added 5-fluorouridine but not by 5-fluorodeoxyuridine. Finally, we demonstrated in vitro TS activity in crude extracts prepared from highly purified C. trachomatis reticulate bodies. The activity is dependent on the presence of methylenetetrahydrofolic acid and can be inhibited with 5-fluoro-dUMP. Taken together, these results indicate that C. trachomatis contains a TS for the synthesis of dTMP." @default.
