High grade glioma (glioblastoma) is the most common brain tumor. Its malignancy makes it the fourth biggest cause of cancer death. In our experiments we used several glioblastoma cell lines generated in our laboratory to obtain proteomics information specific for this disease.

Protein kinase (mol. mass about 200 kDa) has been partially purified from a specimen of high molecular mass DNA polymerase alpha of nuclear membrane of regenerating liver.

Presumably this activity could be effected by the exonucleases non-associated covalently with DNA polymerases. Two 3'-->5'exonucleases with molecular masses of 40 and 50 kDa have been isolated from rat liver nuclei and purified to near homogeneity.

Mammalian nuclear DNA polymerases alpha and beta are lack of the proofreading 3'-->5' exonucleolytic activity. 40 and 50 kDa 3'-->5' exonucleases were isolated from rat liver. The exonucleases were shown to excise mismatched nucleotides from poly[d(A--T)] template 10 and 2 fold faster than matched ones.
