Incubation of [3'-3H]2'-chloro-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate (CldUTP) with adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl), reductant, and ribonucleotide reductase from Lactobacillus leichmannii results in the production of 3H2O, uracil, tripolyphosphate, 5'-deoxyadenosine, and cob(II)alamin. The rate of 3H2O release (0.19 mumol/min/mg) is almost identical with the rate of UTP reduction (0.24 mumol/min/mg). The amount of 3H2O release is dependent upon the enzyme to cofactor ratio. With a ribonucleotide reductase: AdoCbl ratio of 1:1000, approximately 500 eq of 3H2O are released. At this time the enzyme is still active, but further destruction of cofactor and turnover of CldUTP is prevented by competitive inhibition of Co(II) + 5'-deoxyadenosine with AdoCbl for binding to ribonucleotide reductase. The 5'-deoxyadenosine and AdoCbl reisolated during incubation of [3'-3H]CldUTP and ribonucleotide reductase contains no detectable radioactivity.
