Regulation of Socs gene expression by the proto-oncoprotein GFI-1B: two routes for STAT5 target gene induction by erythropoietin.
SOCS proteins take part in a classical negative feedback loop to attenuate cytokine signaling. Although STAT family members positively modulate Socs gene expression, little else is known about Socs gene regulation. Here, we identify functional binding sites for GFI-1B, a proto-oncogenic transcriptional repressor, in the promoters of murine Socs1 and Socs3. Thus, mutating these sites relieved tr...
متن کاملRegulation of fibroblast growth factor 2 expression in melanoma cells by the c-MYB proto-oncoprotein.
Dysregulated expression of basic fibroblast growth factor [fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2)] mediates autocrine growth of melanoma cells. The presence of a consensus Myb binding site in the human FGF-2 promoter prompted us to investigate whether this transcription factor could regulate FGF-2 expression in melanomas. We report that c-MYB mRNA is overexpressed in melanoma cell lines compared to...

متن کاملThe C. elegans gene pag-3 is homologous to the zinc finger proto-oncogene gfi-1.
Mutations in the Caenorhabditis elegans gene pag-3 result in misexpression of touch receptor-specific genes in the BDU interneurons and in motility defects. We cloned pag-3 and found that the gene encodes a C2H2-type zinc finger protein related to the mammalian GFI-1 protein. Sequencing of the three pag-3 alleles showed that two apparent null alleles encode a nonsense mutation before the zinc f...
متن کاملA house fly gene homologous to the zinc finger proto-oncogene Gfi-1.
Gfi-1 was first cloned from rats (and subsequently from mice, chickens, and humans) and was found to be a 55-kDa protein that bound to DNA in a sequence-specific manner to act as a transcriptional repressor and proto-oncogene. Using PCR, a Gfi-1 homologous cDNA (mdGfi-1) was cloned from the house fly, Musca domestica. Comparison of the mdGfi-1-deduced amino acid sequence with those of vertebrat...
