The natural killer-like cell line YT constitutively expresses GTP-cyclohydrolase activity whereas 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase and sepiapterin reductase are absent. The product, dihydroneopterin triphosphate, is dephosphorylated and oxidized causing neopterin to accumulate in the cells. The activities of the H 4biopterin synthesizing enzymes are not controlled by IFN-γ or the synergistic action of both IFN-γ and IL-2 as has been shown for monocytes/macrophages (Huber C. et al. (1984) J. Exp. Med. 160, 310) and CD4 + T cells, respectively (Ziegler I. et al. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 17026). Sepiapterin reductase specifically is induced by incubation of the cells with sepiapterin, leaving GTP-cyclohydrolase, 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase and other enzymes related to pteridine metabolism (dihydropteridine reductase, dihydrofolate reductase) unaffected. The data indicate that H 4biopterin synthesis is individually regulated in the diverse cellular components of the immune system.
