摘要
This study reports the immunocytochemical localization of the retinoblastoma gene product within synchronized normal human keratinocytes, Data suggest that mitotic spindles function in the transport of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene product during cell division. A diffuse anti-pRB reactivity was detected within the nuclei of G(1)-phase keratinocytes, although staining was not evident within the nucleoli. During S-phase and G(2)-phase the anti-pRB reactivity was localized to discrete regions within the nuclear compartment. The anti-pRB reactivity of M-phase cells was localized to the mitotic spindles and microtubule nucleation centers. Immunoprecipitation and Western blotting of the pRB antigen from synchronized keratinocytes showed that the apparent polypeptide molecular weight of pRB increased from 105 kDa during G(1)-phase to 115 kDa during M-phase. Immunoprecipitation of the pRB antigen from mitotic spindles resulted in the coprecipitation of two polypeptides with apparent polypeptide molecular weights of 115 and 50 kDa. Western blotting of the immunoprecipitates from purified keratinocyte mitotic spindles showed that beta-tubulin was the 50-kDa polypeptide associated with hyperphosphorylated pRB.
