title: Protein kinase C activities are increased in rat thyroid epithelial cells expressing v-ras genes.
abstract: Both cytoplasmic and membrane-bound protein kinase C activities are increased in: Harvey-Sarcoma Virus, infected thyroid epithelial cells. The cytoplasmic kinase C increase is found in the chromatographic fraction eluted at lower salt concentration (100 mM NaCl-S100), while the more acidic protein fraction eluted at higher salt concentration (35 mM NaCl-S350) is virtually absent. Although the cytoplasmic S100 fraction from the control and ras-virus infected cells display a comparable PBt2 binding activity, they are different in the Ca+2-dependence and the TPA down regulation. In addition, the membranes from the control and ras-virus infected cells are different phosphate acceptors in place of the H1 histones.
