Cultured diploid human fibroblasts bind insulin to specific receptors which can be regulated with physiologic levels of insulin. Fibroblast monolayers incubated with insulin in concentrations of 5 to 100 rig/ml at 37”C, suspended, washed, and assayed for insulin binding at 15”C, showed a decrease in receptor number with no significant change in affinity. The insulin-mediated regulation of insul...

Ribonucleotide reductases (RRs or RNRs) catalyze the reduction of OH group on 2nd carbon ribose, reducing four ribonucleotides (NTPs) to corresponding deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs) promote DNA synthesis. Large viruses, such as herpesviruses and poxviruses, could benefit their replication through increasing dNTPs via expression viral RRs. Little is known regarding relationship between cellular RR...
