1 Involvement of adenosine kinase in the phosphorylation of formycin B in CHO cells. formycin B adenosine kinase Cricetulus griseus
2 Formycin B-resistant mutants of CHO cells are also affected in AK, as indicated by the absence of AK activity in cell extracts. formycin B adenosine kinase Cricetulus griseus
3 Formycin B-resistant mutants of CHO cells are also affected in AK, as indicated by the absence of AK activity in cell extracts. formycin B adenosine kinase Cricetulus griseus
4 Both types of AK- mutants showed reduced uptake and phosphorylation of [3H]formycin B in comparison to the parental (AK+) cells. formycin B adenosine kinase Cricetulus griseus
5 These observations strongly indicate that in CHO cells, formycin B is phosphorylated via AK and that like other nucleoside analogs its phosphorylation may be essential for the drugs cellular toxicity. formycin B adenosine kinase Cricetulus griseus
