[Activity of hexokinase isoenzymes in the nuclei of cell cultures infected with oncogenic type-12 adenovirus].
The isoenzymic spectrum of a glycolytic enzyme-hexokinase (HK. 2,7.1.1) in the globuline fraction of cell nuclei of rat embryo fibroblasts (REF), infected with human adenovirus of type 12, was studied at 3, 5, 8, 18, 24 days of cultivation. Control studies revealed 3 hexokinase isoenzymes, the third one showing the highest activity and electromobility. In cultures under experiment the first enzyme was found to be lost at 5, 8, 18 days of infection and its activity to be enhanced on the 24th day. The activity of enzymes II and III increased yet on the 3d day of the culture infection. These alterations were especially pronounced to the start of morphological transformation (18th day) and at the 24th day, when the culture was entirely transformed.
