title: A requirement for Zn2+ for the induction of thymidine kinase but not ornithine decarboxylase in 3T3 cells stimulated from quiescence.
abstract: In 3T3 cells stimulated from quiescence by serum, impaired thymidine incorporation caused by inadequate supply of Zn2+ was associated with both decreased thymidine kinase activity and a comparable decrease in its mRNA concentration. In contrast, the amount of mRNA for ribosomal protein S6 was not affected, nor was the earlier increase in the activity of ornithine decarboxylase.
