Reversible, coenzyme-A-mediated inactivation of biosynthetic condensing enzymes in yeast: a possible regulatory mechanism.

abstract：:The effects of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a potent activator of protein kinase C, on Na+ influx were investigated in cultured human foreskin fibroblasts (HSWP cells). We report here that in serum-deprived HSWP cells the addition of PMA alone has no significant effect on Na+ influx. However, the addition of...
