Control of thymidine kinase synthesis in IHD vaccinia virus-infected thymidine kinase-deficient LM cells.
The synthesis of vaccinia virus-induced thymidine kinase is normally arrested several hours after infection. In thymidine kinase-deficient LM cells infected with IHD strain of vaccinia virus, arrest occurs whether or not viral DNA synthesis is inhibited. With virus inactivated by UV irradiation, enzyme synthesis takes place, but arrest is abolished. It is suggested that an early viral genetic f...
متن کاملPersistence of thymidine kinase activity in mitochondria of a thymidine kinase-deficient derivative of mouse L cells.
The cell line LM(TK(-)) Cl 1D, a derivative of mouse L fibroblasts deficient in thymidine kinase (EC 2.7.1.21) that shows very little thymidine kinase activity in extracts of whole cells as compared to the parental line, and that does not incorporate thymidine or 5-bromodeoxyuridine into nuclear DNA, has maintained the capacity to incorporate these precursors into mitochondrial DNA at a substan...
متن کاملTransfer of the gene for thymidine kinase to thymidine kinase-deficient human cells by purified herpes simplex viral DNA.
Transformation of human cells from a thymidine kinase (ATP:thymidine 5'-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.75)-negative to a thymidine kinase-positive phenotype has been achieved by using purified DNA from herpes simplex virus type 2. The specific activity of the DNA was in the range 0.5 to 2.0 transformants per microng and the efficiency of gene transfer was up to 1 transformant per 10(5) recipient ...
متن کاملAcquisition of Chick Cytosol Thymidine Kinase Activity by Thymidine Kinase-deficient Mouse Fibroblast Cells after Fusion with Chick Erythrocytes
Chick-mouse heterokaryons were obtained by UV-Sendai virus-induced fusion of chick erythrocytes with thymidine (dT) kinase-deficient mouse fibroblast [LM(TK(-))] cells. Autoradiographic studies demonstrated that 1 day after fusion, [(3)H]dT was incorporated into both red blood cell and LM(TK(-)) nuclei of 23% of the heterokaryons. Self-fused LM(TK(-)) cells failed to incorporate [(3)H]dT into n...
متن کاملFeedback Inhibition of Thymidine Kinase by Thymidine Triphosphate.
That the regulation of cell division and deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis is subject to some kind of chemical control in higher organisms is widely accepted (2-5). Davidson (2) has suggested that deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis takes place at critical concentrations of the deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates and that these compounds are components of a homeostatic mechanism. There are now at least...
