Abstract excerpt
The tsBN7 cell line is one of the temperature-sensitive mutants for cell proliferation derived from hamster BHK21 cell line. It has a mutation in the DAD1 gene and enters apoptosis at the restrictive temperature of 39 degrees C. The defect of Dad1p causes a loss of N-linked glycosylation; therefore, it was thought that an inhibition of N-linked glycosylation induced apoptosis.However, tunicamycin, a potent...
