title: Protein kinase C inhibitors, H7 and calphostin C, inhibit induction of DNA synthesis by cytosolic extracts of exponentially growing neuroblastoma cells in isolated nuclei.
abstract: Cytoplasmic extracts from proliferating Neuro-2a cells contain a protein factor, ADR (activator of DNA replication) that induces DNA synthesis in isolated quiescent nuclei. Cytoplasmic extracts derived from quiescent-made Neuro-2a cells contain none or very little ADR activity, but this activity can be generated after a brief exposure of cytosolic extracts to a membrane-enriched fraction derived from exponentially growing Neuro-2a cells. ADR activity appears at the beginning of the S phase of the cell cycle. Moreover it appears to be a protease, because aprotinin inhibits ADR activity. ADR activity can be also inhibited by the protein kinase C inhibitors, 1-(5-isoquinoline-sulfonyl)-2- methylpiperazine (H7) and calphostin C.
