Adenosine dialdehyde blocks the disappearance of two nerve growth factor-induced insoluble proteins.
Two nonionic-detergent-insoluble proteins are induced early in the nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells. The pools of these two proteins then disappear from the insoluble fraction after a few days of continued exposure of the cells to NGF. The methylation-inhibiting drug adenosine dialdehyde blocks the disappearance of these insoluble proteins, implicating a methylation-dependent step in the pathway that regulates the fate of these proteins.
