Abstract excerpt
Our laboratory has found that Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and mouse Y1 adrenocortical carcinoma PKA mutants with a defective R subunit, but not altered C subunits, exhibit increased resistance to cisplatin as well as other DNA-damaging agents. The mechanism of resistance may be associated with increased recognition of the cisplatin-damaged DNA and protein binding to the DNA lesion, thus enhancing DNA repair in...
