Phosphorylation of purified Novikoff hepatoma topoisomerase I. 1983

E Durban, and J S Mills, and D Roll, and H Busch

The purified Novikoff hepatoma nuclear phosphoprotein with a molecular weight of 110 kdalton and pI 8.4, was found to be a type I topoisomerase. When isolated from 32P-labeled Novikoff ascites cells or incubated in vitro with protein kinase, phosphoserine was found to be its major phosphorylated amino acid. The enzymatic activity of topoisomerase I was altered by changes in phosphorylation. Its activity was increased by protein kinase and it was decreased by alkaline phosphatase.

D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm.
