ING1 isoforms differentially affect apoptosis in a cell age-dependent manner.
Recently, several novel human ING1 isoforms have been cloned. However,the biochemical functions and the involvement of these proteins in apoptosis remain uncharacterized. We have examined the apoptotic effects and biochemical functions of the two major human ING1 isoforms p47(ING1a) and p33(ING1b) in young and senescent human diploid fibroblasts induced to enter into apoptosis by diverse treatm...
متن کاملPathways downstream of Shc and Grb2 are required for cell transformation by the tpr-Met oncoprotein.
The Tpr-Met oncoprotein, which is a member of a family of tyrosine kinase oncoproteins generated following genomic rearrangement, consists of the catalytic kinase domain of the hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor receptor tyrosine kinase (Met) fused downstream from sequences encoded by the tpr gene. We have previously demonstrated that a single tyrosine residue in the carboxyl terminus, Tyr...
متن کاملNaturally Occurring Variants of Human Α9 Nicotinic Receptor Differentially Affect Bronchial Cell Proliferation and Transformation
Isolation of polyadenilated mRNA from human immortalized bronchial epithelial cell line BEP2D revealed the presence of multiple isoforms of RNA coded by the CHRNA9 gene for α9 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). BEP2D cells were homozygous for the rs10009228 polymorphism encoding for N442S amino acid substitution, and also contained mRNA coding for several truncated isoforms of α9 protein...
متن کاملRAS pathways to cell cycle control and cell transformation.
Ras genes are among the most frequently activated oncogenes in cancer. The corresponding protooncogenes are proteins expressed in the majority of tissues in mammals and have a signal transduction activity. Ras proteins interact with a wide spectrum of regulators and downstream effectors producing different cellular responses, including proliferation, differentiation or apoptosis. This review de...
متن کاملHuman c-Myc isoforms differentially regulate cell growth and apoptosis in Drosophila melanogaster.
The human c-myc proto-oncogene, implicated in the control of many cellular processes including cell growth and apoptosis, encodes three isoforms which differ in their N-terminal region. The functions of these isoforms have never been addressed in vivo. Here, we used Drosophila melanogaster to examine their functions in a fully integrated system. First, we established that the human c-Myc protei...
