Naturally occurring C-terminal splice variants of nuclear receptors
Alternative mRNA splicing in the region encoding the C-terminus of nuclear receptors results in receptor variants lacking the entire ligand-binding domain (LBD), or a part of it, and instead contain a sequence of splice variant-specific C-terminal amino acids. A total of thirteen such splice variants have been shown to occur in vertebrates, and at least nine occur in humans. None of these recep...
متن کاملTargeting naturally occurring epitope variants of hepatitis C virus with high-affinity T-cell receptors
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) readily establishes chronic infection, which is characterized by failure of virus-specific CD8+ T cells. HCV uses epitope mutation and T-cell exhaustion to escape from the host immune response. Previously, we engineered high-affinity T-cell receptors (HATs) targeting human immunodeficiency virus escape mutants. In this study, the affinity of a T-cell receptor specific fo...
متن کاملNaturally occurring dominant negative variants of Stat5.
Stat5 was initially identified as a prolactin-induced member of the signal transducer and activator of transcription (Stat) family in sheep. However, Stat5 is also activated in the response to a variety of cytokines. In mice, and possibly in other species, there exist two Stat5 genes (Stat5a and Stat5b) that encode proteins of 92 and 94 kDa that are 95% identical. In the studies described here,...
متن کاملNaturally Occurring Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Glycosylation Variants
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a member of the glycoprotein hormone family, which is a subfamily of the cystine knot growth factor superfamily [1,2]. The glycoprotein hormones are composed of heterodimeric glycoprotein subunits, a common α-subunit, and a hormone-specific β-subunit. While the α-subunit primary structure is identical for all glycoprotein hormones within the same species, t...
متن کاملAnti-C as a naturally-occurring antibody.
IT IS accepted generally that antibodies directed against red blood cell antigens in the Rh system result from isoimmunization either by transfusion or pregnancy and rarely can be considered “naturally-occurring.” Diamond et al. reported the first example of a naturally-occurring antibody within this system in 1942.3 They described an antibody, apparently anti-D, in the serum of a five-year-old...
