The effects of estrogen on the uridine uptake into cells were examined in primary cultures of liver parenchymal cells from <I>Xenopus laevis</I>. The total uptake of [3H]uridine into the estrogen-treated cells and its incorpora-tion into RNA were about 1.5 times higher than the values for control cells. The uptake of [<SUP>3</SUP>H]adenosine and its incorporation into RNA were not affected by estrogen. An experiment in which liver parenchymal cells were double labeled with [<SUP>3</SUP>H]uridine and [<SUP>3</SUP>H]adenosine showed that estrogen elevated the specific radioactivity of the UTP pool 1.4-fold the value found for the control cells, but that of the ATP pool was not altered by estrogen. Short term labeling revealed that estrogen did not significantly alter the rate of the initial uptake of [<SUP>3</SUP>H]uridine into the cells, but it did stimulate [<SUP>3</SUP>H]uridine phosphorylation about 1.7-fold. Uridine kinase activity measured in cell-free extacts of hepatocytes treated with estrogen had a value 1.6 times that of the control cells. These data indicate that the stimulation of [<SUP>3</SUP>H]uridine uptake and phosphorylation in <I>Xenopus laevis</I> hepatocytes in the presence of estrogen is caused by the enhancement of uridine kinase activity.
