The activity of some enzymes involved in pyrimidine nucleotide synthesis was studied in rat embryo cell (REC) cultures infected with X14 or H-1 parvovirus. dCMP aminohydrolase activity of the infected cells was 64--121% greater than that of the mock-infected cells. dTMP synthetase activity was 18% greater in X14 virus-infected cells and 34% lower in H-1 virus-infected cells. These results suggest some differences in the infected cells, as regards the biosynthesis of dTMP. Orotate phosphoribosyltransferase and orotidylate decarboxylase activities appeared nearly unmodified compared to the mock-infected cells. The addition of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP) to the cell suspension incubated with [6-14C] orotate increased the specific radioactivity of acid-soluble uracil, 5-fold in the mock-infected cells and 15- --24-fold in the X14 or H-1 virus-infected cells (72 hr p.i.). This result suggests that the lowered pyrimidine nucleotide synthesis in infected cells depends to a large extent on the diminished PRPP pool.
