Hemin control of heme biosynthesis in mouse Friend virus-transformed erythroleukemia cells in culture.
Hemin treatment of mouse Friend virus-transformed cells in cultured caused a dose-dependent increase in hemoglobin synthesis. By the addition of radioactively labeled hemin and by the analysis of the radioactive heme in hemoglobin, only 60 to 70% of heme in the newly synthesized hemoglobin was accounted for by the exogenously added hemin. In keeping with this finding, hemin treatment increased ...
متن کاملPolyamine biosynthesis enzymes in the induction and inhibition of differentiation in Friend erythroleukemia cells.
O-Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in cultures of Friend erythroleukemia cells induced to differentiate with various compounds was examined. Based on ability to stimulate ODC activity, the inducers tested could be divided into two categories. Inducers of the first class, among which were dimethyl sulfoxide and hexamethylene bisacetamide, stimulated ODC activity and were inhibited by dexam...
متن کاملInvolvement of ABC7 in the biosynthesis of heme in erythroid cells: interaction of ABC7 with ferrochelatase.
A mitochondrial half-type ATP-binding cassette (ABC) protein, ABC7, plays a role in iron homeostasis in mitochondria, and defects in human ABC7 were shown to be responsible for the inherited disease X-linked sideroblastic anemia/ataxia. We examined the role of ABC7 in the biosynthesis of heme in erythroid cells where hemoglobin is a major product of iron-containing compounds. RNA blots showed t...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Friend erythroleukemia cells induced by benzodiazepines.
Many benzodiazepines of the type whose receptors are found in peripheral tissues cause the differentiation of cultured Friend erythroleukemia cells. The maximal level of induction of hemoglobin synthesis is 10-80% of the cells, depending on the compound tested. The induction is concentration and time dependent, requiring micromolar amounts of the drugs and about 5 days of treatment for full exp...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of spectrin and its assembly into the cytoskeletal system of Friend erythroleukemia cells
Friend erythroleukemia cells, grown in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide for 3 d, synthesize unequal amounts of the two chains (alpha and beta) of spectrin with approximately 15-30% more beta than alpha spectrin. When cells were ruptured by nitrogen cavitation, nascent alpha and beta spectrin were found to be associated with a membranous cell fraction and were not detected in the soluble cytop...
