The EWS-Oct-4 fusion gene encodes a transforming gene.
The t(6;22)(p21;q12) translocation associated with human bone and soft-tissue tumours results in a chimaeric molecule fusing the NTD (N-terminal domain) of the EWS (Ewing's sarcoma) gene to the CTD (C-terminal domain) of the Oct-4 (octamer-4) embryonic gene. Since the N-terminal domains of EWS and Oct-4 are structurally different, in the present study we have assessed the functional consequence...
متن کاملThe Ewing's sarcoma EWS/FLI-1 fusion gene encodes a more potent transcriptional activator and is a more powerful transforming gene than FLI-1.
EWS/FLI-1 is a chimeric protein formed by a tumor-specific 11;22 translocation found in both Ewing's sarcoma and primitive neuroectodermal tumor of childhood. EWS/FLI-1 has been shown to be a potent transforming gene, suggesting that it plays an important role in the genesis of these human tumors. We now demonstrate that EWS/FLI-1 has the characteristics of an aberrant transcription factor. Sub...
متن کاملThe vaccinia virus H5R gene encodes late gene transcription factor 4: purification, cloning, and overexpression.
The vaccinia virus late stage-specific transcription factor P3 was purified to homogeneity from HeLa cells that were infected in the presence of an inhibitor of viral DNA replication. The purified 36-kDa protein was digested with trypsin, and the peptides were analyzed by mass spectroscopy and amino-terminal sequencing. The purified factor was identified as the product of the vaccinia virus H5R...
متن کاملCharacterization of Iranian Avian Metapneumovirus based on Fusion Gene (F)
Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) represents one of the most prevalent diseases of poultry mainly in combination with other pathogens, and it is increasing among chickens. In the present study, the detection and characterization of an aMPV subtype B strain circulating in broiler flocks based on fusion (F) gene. In phylogenetic analysis, the isolates are located in B subtype cl...
متن کاملThe Escherichia coli hemL Gene Encodes Glutamate
8-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA), the first committed precursor of porphyrin biosynthesis, is formed in Escherichia coli by the C5 pathway in a three-step, tRNA-dependent transformation from glutamate. The first two enzymes of this pathway, glutamyl-tRNA synthetase and Glu-tRNA reductase, are known in E. coli (J. Lapointe and D. Soll, J. Biol. Chem. 247:4966-4974, 1972; D. Jahn, U. Michelsen, and D....
