Mammalian ribonucleotide reductase is a highly regulated activity essential for DNA synthesis and repair. The 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of mammalian ribonucleotide reductase R2 mRNA has been implicated in the tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-mediated stabilization of mouse BALB/c 3T3 R2 message. We

The abundant, cytoplasmic 90-kDa heat-shock protein associates transiently with the Rous sarcoma virus oncogenic protein tyrosine kinase, pp60v-src, directs its cellular trafficking and negatively regulates its kinase activity. Here we report that the serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitor, okadaic acid, destabilized the
