title: Oxalate-induced and cell-cycle-dependent expression of nuclear pore complex oxalate binding protein gp210.
abstract: The effect of oxalate, a constituent of renal stone, on the expression of nuclear pore complex oxalate binding protein (gp210) in Vero monkey kidney cells was examined. The expression of this protein was found to increase more in mitotic phase than in S phase, suggesting cell cycle dependency. Exposure of cells to oxalate-containing growth medium resulted in a relative increase in nuclear pore complex oxalate binding protein in each stage of cell cycle. The concentration of this protein was found to increase six times in the telophase stage of the cells exposed to high concentrations of oxalate in the growth medium, though slight reduction in cell density was observed. Structural analogues of oxalate did not show any stimulatory effect on expression of this oxalate binding protein. Hence, the expression of the nuclear pore complex oxalate binding protein gp210 was specific to oxalate and is cell cycle dependent.
