Functional Loss of the HTLV-I Tax Protein Encoded by Variant Proviruses in Infected Individuals
Accumulating evidence has indicated the presence of HTLV-I quasispecies in infected individuals. To elucidate their biological consequences, we amplified the whole Tax open reading frame (ORF) of HTLV-I proviruses by nested PCR from six infected individuals, including three HAM/TSP patients, and a cloned HTLV-I DNA, pMT2, and the products were introduced into an expression vector. The potential...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of rat type 2C (IA) protein phosphatase mRNA.
A full-length cDNA encoding rat type 2C (IA) protein phosphatase was isolated from a kidney cDNA library. The cDNA was identified by screening the library with oligonucleotides based on a partial amino acid sequence determined from purified rat liver phosphatase. This clone is 2.35 kilobase pairs long and has a single extended translation reading frame that predicts a 382-amino acid protein of ...
متن کاملType 2C protein phosphatases in fungi.
Type 2C Ser/Thr phosphatases are a remarkable class of protein phosphatases, which are conserved in eukaryotes and involved in a large variety of functional processes. Unlike in other Ser/Thr phosphatases, the catalytic polypeptide is not usually associated with regulatory subunits, and functional specificity is achieved by encoding multiple isoforms. For fungi, most information comes from the ...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of canine parvovirus type 2C (CPV-2C) from symptomatic puppies
Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) is a leading cause of diarrhea in puppies in several parts of the world. In this study CPV-2 was detected and recovered from puppies showing clinical disease from Montevideo, Uruguay. Samples were processed and used to infect CRFK and MDCK cells in order to isolate the virus. Out of twelve, two samples were positive for CPV-2. A genomic region of 583 bp was ampl...
متن کاملDephosphorylation of cyclin-dependent kinases by type 2C protein phosphatases.
Activating phosphorylation of cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs) is necessary for their kinase activity and cell cycle progression. This phosphorylation is carried out by the Cdk-activating kinase (CAK); in contrast, little is known about the corresponding protein phosphatase. We show that type 2C protein phosphatases (PP2Cs) are responsible for this dephosphorylation of Cdc28p, the major ...
