Uridine-cytidine kinase like-1 (UCKL-1) is a largely uncharacterized protein with high sequence similarity to other uridine-cytidine kinases (UCKs). UCKs play an important role in the pyrimidine salvage pathway, catalyzing the phosphorylation of uridine and cytidine to UMP and CMP, respectively. Only two human UCKs have been identified, UCK1 and UCK2. Previous studies have shown both enzymes phosphorylate uridine and cytidine using ATP as the phosphate donor. No studies have evaluated the kinase potential of UCKL-1. We cloned and purified UCKL-1 and found that it successfully phosphorylated uridine and cytidine using ATP as the phosphate donor. The catalytic efficiency (calculated as kcat/KM) was 1.2 × 104 s-1, M-1 for uridine and 0.7 × 104 s-1, M-1 for cytidine. Our lab has previously shown that UCKL-1 is up-regulated in tumor cells, providing protection against natural killer (NK) cell killing activity. We utilized small interfering RNA (siRNA) to down-regulate UCKL-1 in vitro and in vivo to determine the effect of UCKL-1 on tumor growth and metastasis. The down-regulation of UCKL-1 in YAC-1 lymphoma cells in vitro resulted in decreased cell counts and increased apoptotic activity. Down-regulation of UCKL-1 in K562 leukemia cells in vivo led to decreased primary tumor growth and less tumor cell dissemination and metastasis. These results identify UCKL-1 as a bona fide pyrimidine kinase with the therapeutic potential to be a target for tumor growth inhibition and for diminishing or preventing metastasis.

尿苷-胞苷激酶样 1 核苷激酶活性的表征及其在肿瘤生长中的作用。

尿苷-胞苷激酶样-1 (UCKL-1) 是一种很大程度上未表征的蛋白质,与其他尿苷-胞苷激酶 (UCK) 具有高度序列相似性。UCKs 在嘧啶回收途径中发挥重要作用,分别催化尿苷和胞苷磷酸化为 UMP 和 CMP。仅发现了两种人类 UCK,即 UCK1 和 UCK2。先前的研究表明,两种酶都使用 ATP 作为磷酸盐供体磷酸化尿苷和胞苷。没有研究评估过 UCKL-1 的激酶潜力。我们克隆并纯化了 UCKL-1,发现它使用 ATP 作为磷酸供体成功地磷酸化了尿苷和胞苷。催化效率(以 kcat/KM 计算)为 1.2 × 104 s-1, M-1 用于尿苷和 0.7 × 104 s-1, M-1 用于胞苷。我们的实验室之前已经表明 UCKL-1 在肿瘤细胞中上调,提供针对自然杀伤 (NK) 细胞杀伤活性的保护。我们利用小干扰 RNA (siRNA) 在体外和体内下调 UCKL-1,以确定 UCKL-1 对肿瘤生长和转移的影响。体外 YAC-1 淋巴瘤细胞中 UCKL-1 的下调导致细胞计数减少和凋亡活性增加。体内 K562 白血病细胞中 UCKL-1 的下调导致原发性肿瘤生长减少和肿瘤细胞传播和转移减少。这些结果将UCKL-1鉴定为真正的嘧啶激酶,具有成为抑制肿瘤生长和减少或预防转移的靶标的治疗潜力。我们利用小干扰 RNA (siRNA) 在体外和体内下调 UCKL-1,以确定 UCKL-1 对肿瘤生长和转移的影响。体外 YAC-1 淋巴瘤细胞中 UCKL-1 的下调导致细胞计数减少和凋亡活性增加。体内 K562 白血病细胞中 UCKL-1 的下调导致原发性肿瘤生长减少和肿瘤细胞传播和转移减少。这些结果将UCKL-1鉴定为真正的嘧啶激酶,具有成为抑制肿瘤生长和减少或预防转移的靶标的治疗潜力。我们利用小干扰 RNA (siRNA) 在体外和体内下调 UCKL-1,以确定 UCKL-1 对肿瘤生长和转移的影响。体外 YAC-1 淋巴瘤细胞中 UCKL-1 的下调导致细胞计数减少和凋亡活性增加。体内 K562 白血病细胞中 UCKL-1 的下调导致原发性肿瘤生长减少和肿瘤细胞传播和转移减少。这些结果将UCKL-1鉴定为真正的嘧啶激酶,具有成为抑制肿瘤生长和减少或预防转移的靶标的治疗潜力。体内 K562 白血病细胞中 UCKL-1 的下调导致原发性肿瘤生长减少和肿瘤细胞传播和转移减少。这些结果将UCKL-1鉴定为真正的嘧啶激酶,具有成为抑制肿瘤生长和减少或预防转移的靶标的治疗潜力。体内 K562 白血病细胞中 UCKL-1 的下调导致原发性肿瘤生长减少和肿瘤细胞传播和转移减少。这些结果将UCKL-1鉴定为真正的嘧啶激酶,具有成为抑制肿瘤生长和减少或预防转移的靶标的治疗潜力。
