Substitution of ras for the herpesvirus saimiri STP oncogene in lymphocyte transformation.
STP-C488 (STP of herpesvirus saimiri [HVS] group C strain 488 [C488]) is the only virus-encoded protein found to associate with cellular ras and activate ras signal transduction pathways. To investigate an important role for ras signal transduction in STP-dependent growth transformation, we constructed recombinant strains of HVS C488 in which the STP-C488 oncogene was replaced with cellular nor...
متن کاملSTP and Tip are essential for herpesvirus saimiri oncogenicity.
Mutant forms of herpesvirus saimiri (HVS) subgroup C strain 488 with deletions in either STP-C488 or Tip were constructed. The transforming potentials of the HVS mutants were tested in cell culture and in common marmosets. Parental HVS subgroup C strain 488 immortalized common marmoset T lymphocytes in vitro to interleukin-2-independent growth, but neither of the deletion mutants produced such ...
متن کاملAssociation of the viral oncoprotein STP-C488 with cellular ras.
The STP-C488 oncogene of herpesvirus saimiri has transforming activity independent of the rest of the viral genome. We now demonstrate that STP-C488 associates with cellular ras in transformed cells. Mutations that disrupted this association with ras disrupted the transforming ability of the STP-C488 oncogene. Binding assays showed that STP-C488 was capable of competing with raf-1 for binding t...
متن کاملActivation of Stat3 transcription factor by Herpesvirus saimiri STP-A oncoprotein.
The saimiri transforming protein (STP) oncogene of Herpesvirus saimiri subgroup A strain 11 (STP-A11) is not required for viral replication but is required for lymphoid cell immortalization in culture and lymphoma induction in primates. We previously showed that STP-A11 interacts with cellular Src kinase through its SH2 binding motif and that this interaction elicits Src signal transduction. He...
متن کاملT-cell lymphoma caused by herpesvirus saimiri C488 independently of ie14/vsag, a viral gene with superantigen homology.
The immediate-early gene ie14/vsag of herpesvirus saimiri has homology with murine superantigens. We compared the pathogenesis of infection with either ie14/vsag deletion mutants or wild-type virus C488 in cottontop tamarin monkeys (Saguinus oedipus). Two weeks after infection, all animals developed acute T-cell lymphomas independently of the presence of the viral ie14/vsag gene.
