Diguanosine nucleotide metabolism and the survival of artemia embryos during years of continuous anoxia

TL;DR: It is found that the nucleotide Gp(4)G, present initially in very large amounts, decreased slowly as anoxia continued over the 5.6-year period examined, providing a plausible metabolic pathway leading to the provision of ATP and GTP to meet the needs of endergonic processes in anoxic embryos.

Characterization of the P2 receptors on the human umbilical vein endothelial cell line ECV304

TL;DR: ECV304 cells display a pharmacology consistent with the presence of at least two P2 receptors; a P2Y2 receptor insensitive to the diadenosine polyphosphates and a P 2Y1 receptor sensitive to Ap3A, and respond to AMP with increases in [Ca2+]c via an as yet uncharacterized receptor.

Disruption and overexpression of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe aph1 gene and the effects on intracellular diadenosine 5',5'''-P1, P4-tetraphosphate (Ap4A), ATP and ADP concentrations.

TL;DR: A new S. pombe expression plasmid, pPOX, is described which was used to achieve the largest increase in expression of aph1, which indicates that Aph1 functions in vivo to degrade Ap(4)A, and that high-level overexpression of this enzyme reduces the growth rate.

Synthesis of ATP derivatives of compounds of the mevalonate pathway (isopentenyl di- and triphosphate; geranyl di- and triphosphate, farnesyl di- and triphosphate, and dimethylallyl diphosphate) catalyzed by T4 RNA ligase, T4 DNA ligase and other ligases Potential relationship with the effect of bisphosphonates on osteoclasts

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that T4 RNA ligase, in the presence of ATP and the substrates: geranyl, farnesyl or isopentenyl triphosphates, and Geranyl, Farnesyl, Diphosphate, 6.7, dimethylallyl, 3.1 and isopenta-nyl diphosphates all at 0.3 mM concentration, catalyzed the synthesis of the corresponding ATP derivatives at a relative rate of activity of: 7.6+/-1.4 mU/mg or
