Amino acid control of asparagine synthetase: relation to asparaginase resistance in human leukemia cells
1 May 1997
Abstract excerpt
Complete amino acid deprivation in mammalian cells causes a significant enhancement in gene expression for a number of important cellular activities; among these is asparagine synthetase (AS). The data presented demonstrate that, in both nonleukemic (rat Fao hepatoma cells) and human leukemia cells (MOLT-4, NALL-1, and BALL-1), AS mRNA levels, protein content, and enzymatic activity are induced after incubation...
