Immunohistochemical analysis of normal and mutated ras oncogene p21 expression in human pulmonary and pleural neoplasms.
In this study we examined 214 cases of primary human pulmonary neoplasms for the expression of a mutated form of the ras oncogene p21 product, recognized by the monoclonal antibody (MCA) DWP. Adjacent serial sections from these same cases had previously been used to demonstrate the frequency of ras p21 expression using the broadly reactive anti-ras p21 MCA RAP-5. Confirmation of the increased e...
متن کاملThe human cot proto-oncogene encodes two protein serine/threonine kinases with different transforming activities by alternative initiation of translation.
The cot gene is an oncogene encoding serine/threonine kinases isolated by DNA transfection assay. In this study, we isolated cDNA for the human cot protooncogene (proto-cot gene) and examined the structure and function of its gene products. The proto-cot gene has an open reading frame encoding 467 amino acids of which the first 397 amino acids are identical to those in the corresponding part of...
متن کاملDNA methylation affecting the transforming activity of the human Ha-ras oncogene.
A plasmid containing the transforming Ha-ras gene and designated pT24-C3 was methylated in vitro using the sequence-specific bacterial methyltransferases HpaII and HhaI. Aliquots of the plasmid were methylated by the single enzymes or by the two enzymes simultaneously (double methylation). The transforming activity of the treated plasmids was assayed in the standard transfection assay on NIH-3T...
متن کاملProduction of transgenic mice expressing the Ki-ras oncogene under the control of a thyroglobulin promoter.
Transgenic mice have been generated bearing three fusion genes consisting of: (a) a 900-base pair rat thyroglobulin promoter followed by a gene coding for a chloramphenicol acetyl transferase activity; (b) the same promoter followed by the complementary DNA of the human activated Ki-ras oncogene; (c) a 2000-base pair rat thyroglobulin promoter followed by the complementary DNA of the human acti...
متن کاملIs p21 an oncogene?
p21 is a cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) inhibitor, and is a key mediator of p53-dependent cell cycle arrest after DNA damage (1, 2). p21 belongs to the Cip/Kip family of cdk inhibitors and it inhibits proliferation mainly by interfering with cyclin E/cdk2 activity (3). The initial perception of p21 functions was that it might be a tumor suppressor because it inhibits proliferation, and subsequen...
