Abstract
The ability of nuclei, isolated from Yoshida ascites sarcoma cells, to phosphorylate nuclear proteins in the presence of [γ- 32P] ATP has been investigated. Comparisons were made between a strain sensitive to the effects of the alkylating agent, chlorambucil, with a corresponding resistant strain both before and after drug-treatment of tumour-bearing animals. There was no gross quantitative differences between the drug-sensitive and -resistant untreated cells but treatment resulted in increased levels in the sensitive strain. Qualitative differences were seen before treatment in the phosphorylation pattern of the tris-saline-soluble nuclear sap fraction. The high molecular weight species in the fraction from sensitive cells showed phosphorylations which were absent, or present at very low levels, in the corresponding fraction from drug-resistant cells. Changes were observed in the tris-saline-soluble and non-histone protein fractions from drug-sensitive cells following treatment of tumour-bearing animals. Only minor alterations in patterns of phosphorylation were seen in fractions from drug-resistant cells.
