Transformation of 3T3 cells by SV40 virus changes the properties of the transplasma membrane electron transport activity which can be assayed by reduction of external ferric salts. After 42 h of culture and before the growth rate is maximum, the transformed cells have a much slower rate of ferric reduction. The change in activity is expressed both by change in Km and Vmax for ferricyanide reduction. The change in activity is not based on surface charge effect or on tight coupling to proton release or on intracellular NADH concentration. With transformation by SV40 virus infection the expression of transferrin receptors increases, which correlates with greater diferric transferrin stimulation of the rate of ferric ammonium citrate reduction in transformed SV40-3T3 cells than in 3T3 cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D002462 Cell Membrane The lipid- and protein-containing, selectively permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Plasma Membrane,Cytoplasmic Membrane,Cell Membranes,Cytoplasmic Membranes,Membrane, Cell,Membrane, Cytoplasmic,Membrane, Plasma,Membranes, Cell,Membranes, Cytoplasmic,Membranes, Plasma,Plasma Membranes
D002472 Cell Transformation, Viral An inheritable change in cells manifested by changes in cell division and growth and alterations in cell surface properties. It is induced by infection with a transforming virus. Transformation, Viral Cell,Viral Cell Transformation,Cell Transformations, Viral,Transformations, Viral Cell,Viral Cell Transformations
