Genetic requirement for Ras in the transformation of fibroblasts and hematopoietic cells by the Bcr-Abl oncogene
To determine the functional importance of Ras in transformation by Abl oncogenes, we used a genetic approach to measure the effect of impaired Ras activity on the ability of Bcr-Abl or v-Abl to transform cells. Expression of the catalytic domain of the GTPase activating protein for Ras (Gap C terminus) impaired soft agar colony formation by fibroblasts expressing v-Abl or Bcr-Abl by 70-80%. To ...
متن کاملMalignant transformation of a preneoplastic hamster epidermal cell line by the EJ c-Ha-ras-oncogene.
We have investigated whether the activation of endogenous ras genes is associated with the immortalization or malignant transformation of primary hamster epidermal cells by chemical carcinogens. We have also asked whether transfection of a cloned c-Ha-ras oncogene (pEJ) into a nontumorigenic cell line established from hamster epidermal cells by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine treatment can...
متن کاملActivation of Wnt signaling bypasses the requirement for RTK/Ras signaling during C. elegans vulval induction.
During Caenorhabditis elegans vulval development, activation of receptor tyrosine kinase/Ras and Notch signaling pathways causes three vulval precursor cells (VPCs) to adopt induced cell fates. A Wnt signaling pathway also acts in cell fate specification by the VPCs, via regulation of the Hox gene lin-39. We show here that either mutation of pry-1 or expression of an activated BAR-1 beta-cateni...
متن کاملThe superoxide-generating oxidase Nox1 is functionally required for Ras oncogene transformation.
The activated Ras oncogene can transform various mammalian cells and has been implicated in development of a high population of malignant human tumors. Recent studies suggest that generation of reactive oxygen species such as superoxide and H(2)O(2) is involved in cell transformation by the activated Ras. However, the nature of an oxidase participating in Ras-transformation is presently unknown...
متن کاملAlternative signals to RAS for hematopoietic transformation by the BCR-ABL oncogene
Biological function of the BCR-ABL oncogene is dependent on its activated tyrosine kinase. Mutations that inactivate the SRC homology 2 (SH2) domain, the GRB2-binding site in BCR, or the major autophosphorylation site of the kinase domain selectively disrupt downstream signaling but not tyrosine kinase activity. Despite a loss of fibroblast transformation activity, all three mutants retain the ...
