EFFECT OF X-IRRADIATION ON INCORPORATION OF UREIDOSUCCINIC ACID-C$sup 14$ INTO NUCLEIC ACID PYRIMIDINES
idosuccinic acid-C/sup 14/ into nucleic acid pyrimidines has been made on normal and x-irradiated mice. Total-body x irradiation of 400 r inhibited uptake of this compound into individual DNA pyrimidines, particularly in spleen, and produced increased incorporation into PNA pyrimidines in both liver and spleen. In a series studied at various times after irradiation, total activity in cold and hot TCA fractions of liver and spleen also tended to be above that of normal animals, particularly at 92 hours after irradiation; the effect was less marked at earlier periods, and at 68 hours after irradiation the activity in the hot TCA fraction was actually below the normal level. This may indicate that inhibition or stimulation of the incorporation of this compound by x irradiation is a function of the time period after irradiation. (auth)
