Coordinated synthesis of the nuclear protein cyclin and DNA in serum-stimulated quiescent 3T3 cells.

Quantitative two-dimensional gel electrophoretic analysis (IEF) of the nuclear polypeptide cyclin together with autoradiographic studies have revealed a coordinate synthesis of cyclin and DNA after serum stimulation of quiescent 3T3 cells. These results strengthen the notion that cyclin may be a central component of the pathway(s) that regulate cell proliferation.
