Jy. Vandenburg et Pn. Mcfadden, ADENOSINE DIALDEHYDE BLOCKS THE DISAPPEARANCE OF 2 NERVE GROWTH FACTOR-INDUCED INSOLUBLE PROTEINS, Journal of protein chemistry, 14(5), 1995, pp. 291-297
Two nonionic-detergent-insoluble proteins are induced early in the ner
ve growth factor (NGF)-induced neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells.
The pools of these two proteins then disappear from the insoluble fra
ction after a few days of continued exposure of the cells to NGF. The
methylation-inhibiting drug adenosine dialdehyde blocks the disappeara
nce of these insoluble proteins, implicating a methylation-dependent s
tep in the pathway that regulates the fate of these proteins.
