Age differences in the skin structure have been studied in young (one year-old) and aged (five and a half year-old) frogs, Xenopus laevis. The epidermis in young frogs is made up of an average of 6.3 and 4.7 layers of epithelial cells at abdominal and dorsal surfaces, respectively. In aged frogs, the number of respective cell layers at abdominal and dorsal surfaces increases to 8.8 and 5.6. The thickness of the dermis (spongiosum) in aged frogs is decreased 25% on the abdominal side (from 267㎛ to 207㎛) but is increased by 11 % on the dorsal side (from 275㎛ to 305㎛). The nucleolar index and ³H-uridine incorporation, as judged by radioautography, by epithelial cells are drastically reduced in aged frogs.

We cloned a uridine-diphosphate dependent glycosyl-transferase RUGT-10 from Oryza sativa. The recombinant enzyme was expressed by glutathione-S transferase gene fusion system in Escherichia coli. RUGT10 showed different regioselectivity depending on the structures of substrates (e.g. flavanone, flavonol, and flavone). Apparently, flavanone such as naringenin and eriodictyol gave one 7-O-glucoside while flavone and flavonol gave more than two products with preferential glucosylation position of hydroxyl group at C-3 position.

Four compounds were isolated from Suaeda japonica by repeated column chromatography. Their structures were identified as 2'-hydroxy-6,7-methylenedioxy-isoflavone (1), loliolide (2), dehydrovomifoliol (3), and uridine (4) by spectral analysis and comparison with the published data. All compounds were isolated for the first time from this plant.

Eight compounds were isolated from the BuOH extract of the stem of Clematis trichotoma (Ranunculaceae). On the basis of spectroscopic evidences, the structures of these compounds were established as rutin, kaempferol 3-O-neohesperidoside, adenosine, adenin, hirustrin, caffeic acid $4-{\beta}-glucoside$, 3-methoxyarbutin and uridine.

Five compounds were isolated from the methanol extract of the aerial parts of Oenanthe javanica(Umbelliferae). Their chemical structures were identified as isorhamnetin(1), uracil(2), adenosine(3), persicarin(4) and uridine(5) by comparison of their spectral data with those of authentic samples and compounds 2, 3 and 5 were isolated from Oenanthe javanica for the first time. Compound 1 showed the strong radical scavenging activity among the compounds isolated from Oenanthe javanica.

The site of the synthesis of Japanese encephalitis virus(JEV) in the actinomycin-treated and infecter PS Y15 cells(a porcine kidney stable cell line) was observed by the immunofluorescent antibody technique, acridine orange staining, and the autoradiographic analysis. In the parallel studies by immunofluorescent technique and acridine orange staining it the infected cells, Viral protein(as an antigen) and viral RNA were detected at the same site of cytoplasm. In the autoradiographic analysis, the cytoplasmic labeling of $^3H$-uridine was due to the synthesis of JEV-RNA, while the nucleolus and nucleus were not involved. In the autoradiographic studies on the secton of infected cells, the $^3H$-uridine was frequently incorporated around the cytoplasmic vacuoles. This localization of labeling agreed with the site of acridine orange positive granules. The results suggest that the syntheses of the viral RNA and viral protein occurred in the similar site of cytoplasm of the infected cells, and also the virus particles seem to be assembled in the sites of the viral RNA and protein syntheses.

Glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase from E. coli K12 was used to convert uridine-5'-triphosphate and glucose-1-phosphate to UDP-D-glucose. The conversion was efficient and completed within 5 minutes under the employed conditions. In addition, thymidine-5'-monophosphate kinase and acetate kinase were proven to be non-specific, converting udridine-5'-monophosphate to uridine-5'-triphosphate with 55% conversion after 6 h, which was much slower than the production of TTP under the same conditions (complete conversion within one hour). Since these two reactions could proceed under the same conditions, a one-pot synthesis of UDP-D-glucose with ATP regeneration was designed from easily available starting materials, and conversion up to 40% by HPLC peak integration was achieved given a reaction time of 4 h.

The benzylacycoluridines (BAU and BBAU) are potent and specific inhibitors of uridine phosphorylase (UrdPase). In contrast to the report that benzylacyclouridines potentiated 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (FdUrd) cytotoxicity against human solid tumor cells (Cancer Res., 44:1852, 1984), continuous exposure of mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells, to FdURd, 5-fluorouridine (FUrd), 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-dFUrd), or 5-fluorouracil (FUra) showed no potentiation of cytotoxicity by benzylacyclouridines. In fact, under the conditions employed, benzylacycoluridines protected the cells from the cytotoxicity of FdUrd, FUrd, or 5'-dFUrd, but not FUra in a dose dependent manner. Intraperitoneal coadministration of BAU or BBAU and a 5-fluorinated pyrimidine (i.e., FdUrd, FUrd, or FUra), to mice bearing L5178Y cells also did not significantly increase the life span compared to those treated with the antimetabolites alone. Anabolism of these nucleosides through the sequential action of UrdPase and orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRTase), inhibition of nucleoside transport by benzylacyclouridines, or both could be responsible for the ineffectiveness of UrdPase inhibitors to potentiate the antineoplastic activity of fluoropvrimidines in L5178Y cells.
