We investigated deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate metabolism in S49 mouse T-lymphoma cells synchronized in different phases of the cell cycle. S49 wild-type cultures enriched for G1 phase cells by exposure to dibutyryl cyclic AMP (Bt2cAMP) for 24 h had lower dCTP and dTTP pools but equivalent or increased pools of dATP and dGTP when compared with exponentially growing wild-type cells. Release from Bt2cAMP arrest resulted in a maximum enrichment of S phase occurring 24 h after removal of the Bt2cAMP, and was accompanied by an increase in dCTP and dTTP levels that persisted in colcemid-treated (G2/M phase enriched) cultures. Ribonucleotide reductase activity in permeabilized cells was low in G1 arrested cells, increased in S phase enriched cultures and further increased in G2/M enriched cultures. In cell lines heterozygous for mutations in the allosteric binding sites on the M1 subunit of ribonucleotide reductase, the deoxyribonucleotide pools in S phase enriched cultures were larger than in wild-type S49 cells, suggesting that feedback inhibition of ribonucleotide reductase is an important mechanism limiting the size of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate pools. The M1 and M2 subunits of ribonucleotide reductase from wild-type S49 cells were identified on two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels, but showed no significant change in intensity during the cell cycle. These data are consistent with allosteric inhibition of ribonucleotide reductase during the G1 phase of the cycle and release of this inhibition during S phase. They suggest that the increase in ribonucleotide reductase activity observed in permeabilized S phase-enriched cultures may not be the result of increased synthesis of either the M1 or M2 subunit of the enzyme.
