Regulation of p53 expression by thymidylate synthase.
Previous studies showed that thymidylate synthase (TS), as an RNA binding protein, regulates its own synthesis by impairing the translation of TS mRNA. In this report, we present evidence that p53 expression is affected in a similar manner by TS. For these studies, we used a TS-depleted human colon cancer HCT-C cell that had been transfected with either the human TS cDNA or the Escherichia coli...
متن کاملPredicting Adjuvant Chemotherapy Outcome by Simultaneous Analysis of Thymidylate Synthase Expression and p53 Nuclear Accumulation in Colorectal Cancer
Studies have shown that the tumor suppressor gene p53 may regulate thymidylate synthase (TS) activity in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, hence attributed to chemo-resistance to 5-flurouracil in CRC. In this study, a total of 299 primary CRC patients who underwent surgery alone or received an adjuvant 5-FU-based chemotherapy were retrospectively studied. TS expression and p53 nuclear accumulation...
متن کاملExpression of rTS correlates with altered growth regulation of thymidylate synthase.
The recently discovered rTS gene is convergent with and overlaps the thymidylate synthase gene in the antisense orientation. K562 B1A and KB 1BT are two methotrexate-resistant cell lines that have amplified genes for dihydrofolate reductase. K562 B1A cells have increased levels of rTS mRNA and protein compared with their parental K562 cells, whereas KB 1BT cells show unaltered rTS expression co...
متن کاملNitric oxide-induced p53 accumulation and regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase expression by wild-type p53.
The tumor suppressor gene product p53 plays an important role in the cellular response to DNA damage from exogenous chemical and physical mutagens. Therefore, we hypothesized that p53 performs a similar role in response to putative endogenous mutagens, such as nitric oxide (NO). We report here that exposure of human cells to NO generated from an NO donor or from overexpression of inducible nitr...
متن کاملIsolation and expression of the Pneumocystis carinii thymidylate synthase gene.
The thymidylate synthase (TS) gene from Pneumocystis carinii has been isolated from complementary and genomic DNA libraries and expressed in Escherichia coli. The coding sequence of TS is 891 nucleotides, encoding a 297-amino acid protein of Mr 34,269. The deduced amino acid sequence is similar to TS from other organisms and is most closely related to the enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae wi...
