The cDNA for mouse thymidine kinase (TK) was isolated from a cDNA library in lambda-gt11 and sequenced. It was used as a probe to follow the time course of TK mRNA expression in growth stimulated mouse fibroblasts. Linked to the HSV-TK promoter the cDNA was able to transform LTK-cells to the TK+ phenotype. The transformed cells expressed the TK mRNA and enzyme activity in a growth dependent fashion suggesting that the regulatory element is localized on the cDNA.
从小鼠λ-gt11 cDNA文库中分离出小鼠胸苷激酶(TK)的cDNA并进行测序。用它作为探针追踪生长刺激的小鼠成纤维细胞中TK mRNA表达的时间进程。与单纯疱疹病毒胸苷激酶(HSV-TK)启动子相连的cDNA能够将LTK⁻细胞转化为TK⁺表型。转化细胞以生长依赖的方式表达TK mRNA和酶活性,这表明调控元件定位于该cDNA上。
