Human deoxycytidine kinase is located in the cell nucleus.
Human deoxyribonucleoside kinases are required for the pharmacological activity of several clinically important anticancer and antiviral nucleoside analogs. Human deoxycytidine kinase and thymidine kinase 1 are described as cytosolic enzymes in the literature, whereas human deoxyguanosine kinase and thymidine kinase 2 are believed to be located in the mitochondria. We expressed the four human d...
متن کاملStudy of promoter CpG island hypermethylation of cyclindependent kinase inhibitor gene p21waf1/cip1 on some breast carcinoma cell lines
The p21 belongs to the CIP/KIP family of CDK inhibitors involved in cell cycle arrest at specific stages of the cell cycle progression. DNA methylation is the best studied epigenetic mark that have been evidently associated to chromatin condensation, and repression of gene transcription. The CpG island hypermethylation in promoter region of certain genes occurs in cancer cells and affects tumor...
متن کاملCharacterization of Nucleoprotein Extracted from Human Influenza A Virus Cultured in Two Different Cell Lines
Background and Aims: Influenza virus nucleoprotein (NP) has the capacity to be used as subunit vaccine, but little is known about the impact of different cultures on its structure. In the present study we aimed to evaluate and compare the Isoelectric focusing (IEF) property of extracted viral nucleoproteins derived from Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell line and embryonated chicken eggs (EC...
متن کاملSelective expression of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase superactivity in human lymphoblast lines.
Phenotypic expression of 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) synthetase superactivity was examined in lymphoblast lines derived from six unrelated male patients. Fibroblasts from these individuals have increased rates of PRPP and purine nucleotide synthesis and express four classes of kinetic derangement underlying enzyme superactivity: increased maximal reaction velocity (catalytic defect)...
متن کاملKinase-deficient Human Promyelocytic Leukemic Cell Line Isolation and Characterization of a Deoxycytidine
A deoxycytidine kinase-deficient variant of a human promyelocytic leukemic Å“il line (HL-60/ara-C) has been isolated and characterized. These cells are capable of proliferating in the presence of 10~6 M 1-/3-o-arabinofuranosylcytosine (ara-C), a level achieved in the plasma of leukemic patients undergoing conventional-dose ara-C therapy. The cells share numerous biological and biochemical featu...
