摘要: We investigated the cell cycle modulation of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR; tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, 7,8-dihydroxyfolate:NADP+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.5.1.3) levels in methotrexate-resistant Chinese hamster ovary cells synchronized by mitotic selection. DNA content and DHFR concentration were analyzed throughout standard biochemical techniques double fluorescence staining utilizing fluorescence-activated sorter. found an S phase-specific period biosynthetic activity. Commencing within hour 2 phase continuing duration phase, there is a 90% increase specific This results from approximately 2.5-fold level DHFR, while total soluble protein increases 50% during same period. result new synthesis molecules initiated after physiologically committed to replication. activity through phage parallels increasing rate [3H]thymidine incorporation interval. The maximum peak coincident with synthesis, both activities occurring bulk replication last stages 6.5-hr phase.
