  • The results are interpreted as supporting the concept that the biosynthetic pathway of pyrimidine (deoxy)nucleotides--because of two oxygen-dependent enzymes, dihydroorotate dehydrogenase and ribonucleotide reductase--is a potential transducer of environmental limitations in oxygen tension to the proliferative capacity of cells [16].
