Disruption of the developmentally regulated Rev3l gene causes embryonic lethality
The REV3 gene encodes the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase (pol) zeta, which can replicate past certain types of DNA lesions [1]. Saccharomyces cerevisiae rev3 mutants are viable and have lower rates of spontaneous and DNA-damage-induced mutagenesis [2]. Reduction in the level of Rev31, the presumed catalytic subunit of mammalian pol zeta, decreased damage-induced mutagenesis in human cell l...
متن کاملTargeted disruption of the Tab1 gene causes embryonic lethality and defects in cardiovascular and lung morphogenesis
The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily consists of a group of secreted signaling molecules that perform important roles in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. TGF-beta activated kinase-1 binding protein-1 (TAB1) was identified as a molecule that activates TGF-beta activated kinase-1 (TAK1). Recent studies have revealed that the TAB1-TAK1 interaction plays an i...
متن کاملDisruption of the pelota gene causes early embryonic lethality and defects in cell cycle progression.
Mutations in either the Drosophila melanogaster pelota or pelo gene or the Saccharomyces cerevisiae homologous gene, DOM34, cause defects of spermatogenesis and oogenesis in Drosophila, and delay of growth and failure of sporulation in yeast. These phenotypes suggest that pelota is required for normal progression of the mitotic and meiotic cell cycle. To determine the role of the pelota in mous...
متن کاملDeletion of the mouse P450c17 gene causes early embryonic lethality.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a 19-carbon precursor of sex steroids, is abundantly produced in the human but not the mouse adrenal. However, mice produce DHEA and DHEA-sulfate (DHEAS) in the fetal brain. DHEA stimulates axonal growth from specific populations of mouse neocortical neurons in vitro, while DHEAS stimulates dendritic growth from those cells. The synthesis of DHEA and sex steroids,...
متن کاملDisruption of the Rev3l-encoded catalytic subunit of polymerase ζ in mice results in early embryonic lethality
Polymerase zeta (Pol zeta) is an error-prone DNA polymerase [1], which in yeast is involved in trans-lesion synthesis (TLS) and is responsible for most of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced and spontaneous mutagenesis [2-4]. Pol zeta consists of three subunits: REV1, a deoxycytidyl-transferase [5]; REV7, of unclear function [6]; and REV3, the catalytic subunit. REV3 alone is sufficient to c...
