Description:
The protein product of oncogene c-myc is believed to be important in regulation of the cell cycle. However, its direct role in DNA synthesis has not been explored. Experiments presented here show that the addition of affinity-purified antibodies against the human c-myc protein to nuclei isolated from several types of human cells reversibly inhibited DNA synthesis and DNA polymerase activity of these nuclei. This suggests that c-myc encodes a protein that is functionally involved in DNA synthesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Studzinski, G P -- Brelvi, Z S -- Feldman, S C -- Watt, R A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 Oct 24;234(4775):467-70.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3532322" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
