The influence of subcellular fractions on the enzymic methylation of DNA in ascites cell nuclei

RH Burdon 1, JT Douglas 1
PMCID: PMC343327  PMID: 10793663

Abstract

Soluble factors appear to be present in both nuclei and cytoplasm of Krebs 2 ascites tumour cells capable of stimulating the enzyme catalysed methylation of DNA in isolated nuclei from these cells.
