Oncogenic transformation by vrel requires an amino-terminal activation domain.
The mechanism by which the products of the v-rel oncogene, the corresponding c-rel proto-oncogene, and the related dorsal gene of Drosophila melanogaster exert their effects is not clear. Here we show that the v-rel, chicken c-rel, and dorsal proteins activated gene expression when fused to LexA sequences and bound to DNA upstream of target genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have defined two...
متن کاملRegulation of catabolism of microinjected ribonuclease A requires the amino-terminal 20 amino acids.
RNase A introduced into the cytoplasm of IMR-90 human diploid fibroblasts by erythrocyte-mediated microinjection is degraded with a half-life of approximately equal to 75 hr in the presence of fetal bovine serum. In response to serum deprivation the degradative rate of microinjected RNase A is enhanced 2-fold. RNase S protein (amino acids 21-124) is degraded with a half-life similar to that of ...
متن کاملActivation of DNA methyltransferase 1 by EBV LMP1 Involves c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase signaling.
EBV latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) activates cellular DNA methyltransferases, resulting in hypermethylation and silencing of E-cadherin. However, the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated. In this study, we show that LMP1 directly induces the dnmt1 promoter activity through its COOH-terminal activation region-2 YYD domain. Using (i) LMP1 mutants, (ii) dominant negative mutants c-jun N...
متن کاملTerminal amino acids of rhodopsin.
Rhodopsin, the photosensitive pigment of rod vision, is a chromoprotein composed in equimolar parts of the protein opsin and the carotenoid retinene (1). Its absorption spectrum and molar extinction are known (2) and the kinetics of bleaching by light and of regeneration have been investigated (3). An upper limit of 40,000 has been set for its molecular weight (cattle) (1). Since rhodopsin is i...
متن کاملEndothelial NOS-dependent activation of c-Jun NH(2)- terminal kinase by oxidized low-density lipoprotein.
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is known to activate a number of signal transduction pathways in endothelial cells. Among these are the c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK), also known as stress-activated protein kinase, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). These mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAP kinase) determine cell survival in response to environmental stress. Interes...
