Tunicamycin inhibits the initiation of DNA synthesis stimulated by prostaglandin F2α in Swiss mouse 3T3 cells

Tunicamycin, an inhibitor of the asparagine-linked protein N-glycosylation, blocks the initiation of DNA synthesis in Swiss 3T3 cells stimulated by prostaglandin F2α alone or with insulin. This effect is exerted only when tunicamycin is added from 0 to 8 h after stimulation and it decreases the rate...

Sumario:Tunicamycin, an inhibitor of the asparagine-linked protein N-glycosylation, blocks the initiation of DNA synthesis in Swiss 3T3 cells stimulated by prostaglandin F2α alone or with insulin. This effect is exerted only when tunicamycin is added from 0 to 8 h after stimulation and it decreases the rate of entry into S phase. Blocking of labeled sugar incorporation to proteins occurs regardless of the time of PGF2α stimulation. In contrast tunicamicin does not inhibit protein synthesis. These results suggest that N-glycoprotein synthesis early during the prereplicative phase is an important event controlling the mitogenic action of PGF2α. © 1991.
