title: ATP stimulates binding of retinol-cellular retinol binding protein complex to DNA-cellulose.
abstract: In calf uterus cytosol a cellular retinol-binding protein (cRBP) was detected which was found to bind to DNA-cellulose. The binding to DNA-cellulose could be enhanced by ATP in a dose-dependent manner. ATP treatment did not change the physico-chemical properties of the retinol-cRBP complex. Our findings suggest a role for ATP in the binding of retinol-cRBP complex to DNA.
