Abstract excerpt
L1210/D3 mouse leukemia cells are resistant to 5, 10-dideazatetrahydrofolate due to expansion of cellular folate pools which block polyglutamation of the drug (Tse, A., and Moran, R. G. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 25944-25952). These cells were found to have two point mutations in the reduced folate carrier (RFC), resulting in a replacement of isoleucine 48 by phenylalanine and of tryptophan 105 by glycine. Each...
