TLDR
Two different post-transcriptional mechanisms largely account for the periodic behavior of the enzyme activity during the cell cycle, indicating that the efficiency of translation of thymidine kinase mRNA increases as cells begin DNA replication.

G1 events and regulation of cell proliferation.

TL;DR: This work has shown that switches in and out of G1 are the main determinants of post-embryonic cell proliferation rate and are defectively controlled in cancer cells.

Imaging proliferation in vivo with [F-18]FLT and positron emission tomography.

TL;DR: [F-18]FLT (3'-deoxy-3'-fluorothymidine) is developed and tested; it is resistant to degradation, is retained in proliferating tissues by the action of thymidine kinase 1 (TK), and produces high-contrast images of normal marrow and tumors in canine and human subjects.

Mammalian Deoxyribonucleoside Kinases

TL;DR: The physiologic metabolic role of the anabolic enzymes is discussed in relation to catabolic pathways, and alternative pathways for nucleoside analogue phosphorylation are surveyed, such as the phosphotransfer capacity of 5'-nucleotidase.

Cellular localization and cell cycle regulation by a temperature-sensitive p53 protein

TL;DR: Primary rat embryo fibroblasts were transformed by a p53 mutant (alanine to valine change at amino acid 135) plus ras, and the S-phase cells appear to be immune to the p53 negative regulation of growth until they enter the next G1 period.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of proliferating cell nuclear antigen during the cell cycle.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the cyclic synthesis of PCNA in cycling HeLa cells maintainsPCNA in excess of the amount involved directly in DNA replication and the amount of the protein neither fluctuates significantly with the cell cycle nor is limiting for DNA synthesis.

A rapid and sensitive method for the quantitation of microgram quantities of protein utilizing the principle of protein-dye binding

TL;DR: This assay is very reproducible and rapid with the dye binding process virtually complete in approximately 2 min with good color stability for 1 hr with little or no interference from cations such as sodium or potassium nor from carbohydrates such as sucrose.

Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual

TL;DR: Molecular Cloning has served as the foundation of technical expertise in labs worldwide for 30 years as mentioned in this paper and has been so popular, or so influential, that no other manual has been more widely used and influential.

A technique for radiolabeling DNA restriction endonuclease fragments to high specific activity

TL;DR: A technique for conveniently radiolabeling DNA restriction endonuclease fragments to high specific activity is described, and these "oligolabeled" DNA fragments serve as efficient probes in filter hybridization experiments.

Cyclin: A protein specified by maternal mRNA in sea urchin eggs that is destroyed at each cleavage division

TL;DR: Eggs of the sea urchin Lytechinus pictus and oocytes of the surf clam Spisula solidissima also contain proteins that only start to be made after fertilization and are destroyed at certain points in the cell division cycle, and it is proposed to call these proteins the cyclins.

The clam embryo protein cyclin A induces entry into M phase and the resumption of meiosis in Xenopus oocytes

TL;DR: Findings indicate that the rise in cyclin A plays a direct and natural role in driving cells into M phase.
