| abstractText | We have cloned a human cGMP-dependent protein kinase type II cDNA to examine its gene expression in terms of cellular senescence and/or immortalization. The genetic locus was mapped to band 4q21 by FISH. Northern blot analysis revealed that expression of the type II gene was markedly decreased or lost in mortal or immortal human fibroblasts producing SV40 T antigen. Also in various immortalized cell lines tested, the gene was not expressed. In normal diploid fibroblasts, the gene was constitutively expressed during cell-cycle and population doubling levels (PDLs). |
