- Abstract
- Recent studies indicate that deoxycytidine kinase (dCK), which activates various nucleoside analogues used in antileukemic therapy, can be regulated by post-translational modification, most probably through reversible phosphorylation. To further unravel its regulation, dCK was overexpressed in HEK-293 cells as a His-tag fusion protein. Western blot analysis showed that purified overexpressed dCK appears as doublet protein bands. The slower band disappeared after treatment with protein phosphatase lambda (PP lambda) in parallel with a decrease of dCK activity, providing additional arguments in favor of both phosphorylated and unphosphorylated forms of dCK.
