Neuraminidase activity in hela cells: effect of hydrocortisone.
Homogenates of HeLa cells contain neuraminidase activity. This enzyme is particle-bound, and it has a pH optimum of 4.2. Hydrocortisone-regulated cells contain two to three times as much neuraminidase as the corresponding controls. The hydrocortisone treatment also causes an increase in the cell content of beta-glucuronidase and acid deoxyribonuclease.
