Patterns of protein synthesis during the cell cycle of Chinese hamster ovary cells. 1987

J T Westwood, and R B Church, and E B Wagenaar

The protein synthesis patterns at various stages of the cell cycle of Chinese hamster ovary cells were examined by labelling cells with [35S]methionine and then separating the proteins by isoelectric focussing and two-dimensional, nonequilibrium pH gradient gel electrophoresis. We have observed a number of proteins which display quantitative differences in synthesis at specific cell cycle stages and of these the alpha- and beta-tubulins have been identified. A few proteins appear to be uniquely synthesized at specific times during the cell cycle. These include the histones and a modified version of them, which are synthesized only in S phase, and a pair of 21 kilodalton (kDa), pI 5.5 proteins, which appear only in late G2 and mitosis. We have also identified a 58-kDa, pI 7.5 protein which is present at all cell cycle stages except during late G2. This protein appears to have the same temporal properties as a 57-kDa protein called "cyclin" originally described in sea urchin embryos.

D010053 Ovary The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE. Ovaries
D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.
