The role of cytidine triphosphate (CTP) synthetase (EC 6.3.4.2.) in the pyrimidine ribonucleotide metabolism of MOLT-3 human T-ALL cell line cells and normal human T lymphocytes during the cell cycle traverse was studied. Highly pure G1-phase samples and samples enriched in S-phase cells were obtained by counterflow centrifugation. The activity of CTP synthetase in situ, measured in pulse-chase experiments, was similar in the G1-phase and S-phase MOLT-3 cells. In contrast, in S-phase T lymphocytes, an increased activity of CTP synthetase was observed compared with G1-phase T lymphocytes. Nevertheless, the MOLT-3 samples showed an increased activity of CTP synthetase in comparison with either G1-phase or S-phase enriched samples of normal T lymphocytes. Therefore, the increased activity of CTP synthetase of MOLT-3 cells is a cell cycle-independent feature, whereas among normal T lymphocytes, the increase in activity of CTP synthetase that arises after a growth stimulus is more prominent in the S-phase.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
