✦ Synopsis
The effects of analogs of diadenosine 5',5'''-p1,p4-tetraphosphate (Ap4A) were examined on the ADP-ribosylation reaction of histone H1 catalysed by purified bovine thymus poly(ADP-ribose)transferase. Among the compounds tested, epsilon Ap4A and ApCH2pppA were shown to be the most efficient inhibitors of the enzyme. From kinetic studies of their action, it appears that epsilon Ap4A and ApCH2pppA might be 'mixed type' inhibitors.

A simple method for measuring the cellular content of diadenosine 5',5'''-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (Ap4A) in cultured mammalian cells is described. Ap4A was rapidly extracted by dissolving cell monolayers using 0.1 N NaOH. It was separated from the bulk of cellular components in a single step by selecti
