Four temperature-sensitive cell-cycle mutants of rat 3Y1 clonal fibroblasts representing separate complementation groups (3Y1tsD123, 3Y1tsF121, 3Y1tsG125 and 3Y1tsH203) are arrested at restrictive temperature, primarily with a G1-phase DNA content (temperature arrest). We examined various factors affecting signal transduction for activity which induces DNA synthesis at the restrictive temperature when added to the temperature-arrested cultures of these mutants. The factors examined were theophylline, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, cholera toxin (CT), dibutyryl cyclic GMP, sodium nitroprusside, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, 1-oleoyl 2-acetylglycerol, bombesin, vasopressin, basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF), platelet-derived growth factor, A23187, monensin, epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin and fetal calf serum (FCS). None of these factors induced DNA synthesis in 3Y1tsH203. In one mutant (3Y1ts121), FGF, EGF and FCS individually induced DNA synthesis. In the other 2 mutants (3Y1tsD123 and 3Y1tsG125), FGF and CT individually induced DNA synthesis. The FGF-induced DNA synthesis was suppressed by islet-activating protein (IAP) in 3Y1tsD123 and 3Y1tsG125, but not in 3Y1tsF121. The CT-induced DNA synthesis was also suppressed by IAP, as previously shown. When temperature-arrested cultures were shifted to a permissive temperature, all 4 mutants initiated DNA synthesis in the presence of IAP. These results suggest that (1) a cell can prepare for the initiation of DNA synthesis by using several independent signal transduction pathways, and (2) in a given situation, the cell uses a particular pathway because of its availability, which depends on the culture conditions.

D002772 Cholera Toxin An ENTEROTOXIN from VIBRIO CHOLERAE. It consists of two major protomers, the heavy (H) or A subunit and the B protomer which consists of 5 light (L) or B subunits. The catalytic A subunit is proteolytically cleaved into fragments A1 and A2. The A1 fragment is a MONO(ADP-RIBOSE) TRANSFERASE. The B protomer binds cholera toxin to intestinal epithelial cells and facilitates the uptake of the A1 fragment. The A1 catalyzed transfer of ADP-RIBOSE to the alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G PROTEINS activates the production of CYCLIC AMP. Increased levels of cyclic AMP are thought to modulate release of fluid and electrolytes from intestinal crypt cells.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.

D016222 Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 A single-chain polypeptide growth factor that plays a significant role in the process of WOUND HEALING and is a potent inducer of PHYSIOLOGIC ANGIOGENESIS. Several different forms of the human protein exist ranging from 18-24 kDa in size due to the use of alternative start sites within the fgf-2 gene. It has a 55 percent amino acid residue identity to FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR 1 and has potent heparin-binding activity. The growth factor is an extremely potent inducer of DNA synthesis in a variety of cell types from mesoderm and neuroectoderm lineages. It was originally named basic fibroblast growth factor based upon its chemical properties and to distinguish it from acidic fibroblast growth factor (FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR 1).
