The occurrence of distinct (2'-5')(A)n-synthetase activities has recently been documented in cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts of several interferon (IFN)-treated cell lines. Since a role has been proposed for (2'-5')(A)n synthetase in the control of cell growth and differentiation, we examined the subcellular distribution of (2'-5')(A)n-synthetase activity both in IFN-treated undifferentiated Friend leukemia cells (FLCs) and during dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO)-induced erythroid differentiation of FLCs. Both the nuclear and cytoplasmic (2'-5')(A)n activities were modulated to the same extent by IFNs and DMSO. No evidence for a causal relationship between enzyme activation and FLC differentiation was found.

Abstract
The occurrence of distinct (2'-5')(A)n-synthetase activities has recently been documented in cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts of several interferon (IFN)-treated cell lines. Since a role has been proposed for (2'-5')(A)n synthetase in the control of cell growth and differentiation, we examined the subcellular distribution of (2'-5')(A)n-synthetase activity both in IFN-treated undifferentiated Friend leukemia cells (FLCs) and during dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO)-induced erythroid differentiation of FLCs. Both the nuclear and cytoplasmic (2'-5')(A)n activities were modulated to the same extent by IFNs and DMSO. No evidence for a causal relationship between enzyme activation and FLC differentiation was found.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
