Transcriptional activity of DNMT3B in pancreatic cancer cells: effects of -149 (C→T) promoter polymorphism.

abstract：:The calmodulin-stimulated ATPase of maize coleoptiles is a 140,000 Mr polypeptide. In the present study, formation of a phosphorylated intermediate by the enzyme is demonstrated. Phosphorylation is sensitive to chasing with unlabelled ATP and to hydroxylamine; lanthanum enhances its intensity while calmodulin enhances...
