Abstract

In 3T3 Swiss mouse fibroblasts, incorporation of phosphate into cells and phosphorylation of small organic compounds were increased by shaking dense cultures. This response was not obtained with SV40 transformed Swiss 3T3 cells (SV‐3T3).

It appeared likely that these results could be accounted for by an inhibitor released from 3T3 cells but not from SV‐3T3 cells.

Our new method of co‐incubation of sparse and dense cultures allowed us to demonstrate inhibition of growth and phosphate metabolism in sparse 3T3 cultures which were shaken in the presence of dense cultures. The inhibition was much less when the cultures were co‐cultivated but not shaken.

The inhibition of phosphate incorporation in acid‐soluble and acid‐insoluble fractions of sparse cultures was observed as early as 20 minutes of co‐incubation in the presence of dense cultures, so this inhibition is not the result of depletion of growth factors in the medium.

Our experiments suggest that an inhibitor(s) was released from dense cultures of 3T3 cells.

Human pregnancy zone protein (PZP) is a major pregnancy-associated plasma protein closely related to human alpha(2)-macroglobulin (alpha(2)M). It has been demonstrated that monoamine-activated forms of human and rat alpha(2)M and rat alpha(1)M can bind to TrkA and, respectively, inhibit and stimulat

The nucleotide sequence of 37 639 bp of the right arm of chromosome XII has been determined. Twenty-five open reading frames (ORFs) longer than 300 bp were detected, two of which extend into the flanking cosmids. Only two (L2931 and L2961) of the 25 ORFs correspond to previously sequenced genes (HOG
