Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of spectrin from human erythrocyte ghosts under physiological conditions: autocatalysis rather than reaction with separate kinase and phosphatase.

abstract：:Foreign DNA molecules and chromosomal fragments are generally eliminated from proliferating cells, but we know little about how mammalian cells prevent their propagation. Here, we show that dividing human and canine cells partition transfected plasmid DNA asymmetrically, preferentially into the daughter cell harboring...
