Rates of transport of uridine and thymidine, estimated with a rapid sampling technique, did not change with culture age. Inhibition of cellular RNA and protein synthesis for periods up to 6 h, did not lead to a loss of nucleoside transport activity. Mild treatment of cell suspensions with trypsin or neuraminidase had no effect on the kinetics of thymidine transport. Thus we conclude, contrary to previous reports, that nucleoside transporters are metabolically stable and that the decreases in nucleoside uptake rates observed with decreased protein synthesis reflect loss of nucleoside kinase activities. These kinases (which have narrow substrate specificity) rather than the membrane-associated, transport apparatus (which has broad substrate specificity) are the most likely sites for regulation of nucleoside uptake.
