title: Phosphorylation of purine and pyrimidine nucleosides by isolated rat liver mitochondria.
abstract: Formation of 5'-AMP, 5'-GMP, 5'-CMP and 5'UMP was confirmed in isolated rat liver mitochondria incubated with alpha-ketoglutarate, inorganic phosphate, purine nucleoside and pyrimidine nucleoside. Increased incorporation of 32Pi into ATP, GTP and UTP was observed by adding purine- and pyrimidine nucleosides. The phosphorylation of nucleosides was inhibited severely by arsenite and affected slightly by the addition of nuclear or post-mitochondrial fraction.
