Description:
The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA or cyclin) is a nuclear protein recently identified as a cofactor of DNA polymerase delta. When exponentially growing Balb/c3T3 cells are exposed to antisense oligodeoxynucleotides to PCNA, both DNA synthesis and mitosis are completely suppressed. A corresponding sense oligodeoxynucleotide has no inhibitory effects. These experiments indicate that PCNA (cyclin) is important in cellular DNA synthesis and in cell cycle progression.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jaskulski, D -- deRiel, J K -- Mercer, W E -- Calabretta, B -- Baserga, R -- CA 42866/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jun 10;240(4858):1544-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, Temple University Medical School, Philadelphia, PA 19140.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2897717" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
