[An enzyme study of purine nucleotide biosynthesis in the plerocercoids of cestodes in the fam. Ligulidae].
By means of spectrophotometric method there was determined the activity of three enzymes of biosynthesis of purine nucleotides: amino imidazole ribonucleotide-carboxylase (AIR-carboxylase, EC 4.1.1.21), an enzyme of biosynthesis of purine nucleotides de novo in plerocercoids of Schistocephalus pungitii and Digramma interrupta; inosine monophosphate-dehydrogenase (IMPh-dehydrogenase, EC 1.2.1.14), an enzyme of salvage path, and adenylosuccinate lyase (EC 4.3.2.2), an enzyme taking part both in biosynthesis de novo and salvage in plerocercoids of Schistocephalus pungitii. The activity of AIR-carboxylase was not determined. Specific activities of adenylosuccinate lyase and IMPh-dehydrogenase amount to (1.3 +/- 0.3) x 10(-3) and (1.2 +/- 0.4) x 10(-3) mumole/min.mg protein, respectively. The activity of the three enzymes was determined in the liver of ten-spined stickleback, a host of S. pungitii plerocercoids. The question of metabolic dependence of Ligulidae plerocercoids on hosts to provide for purine bases is discussed.
