Association of the vav proto-oncogene product with poly(rC)-specific RNA-binding proteins.

چکیده
We have used the yeast two-hybrid system to isolate proteins that interact with the carboxy-terminal SH3-SH2-SH3 region of Vav. One of the clones encoded heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K), a poly(rC)-specific RNA-binding protein. The interaction between Vav and hnRNP K involves the binding of the most carboxy-terminal SH3 domain of Vav to two proline-rich sequences present in the central region of hnRNP K. Overexpression of Vav in mouse fibroblasts leads to the formation of a stable complex with the endogenous hnRNP K and to the preferential redistribution of this protein to the cytoplasmic fraction. More importantly, Vav and hnRNP K proteins also interact in hematopoietic cells. In addition, Vav associates in vitro with a second 45-kDa poly(rC)-specific RNA-binding protein via its SH3-SH2-SH3 region. These results suggest that Vav plays a role in the regulation of the late steps of RNA biogenesis by modulating the function of poly(rC)-specific ribonucleoproteins.

Mechanism of activation of the vav protooncogene.
vav is a human locus that appears to be specifically expressed in cells of hematopoietic origin regardless of their differentiation lineage. This gene was first identified as a result of its malignant activation during the course of gene transfer assays (Katzav, S., Martin-Zanca, D., and Barbacid, M. EMBO J., 8: 2283-2290, 1989). In this study, we report the isolation of complementary DNA clone...
متن کاملCbl-mediated ubiquitinylation and negative regulation of Vav.
The Cbl ubiquitin ligase has emerged as a negative regulator of receptor and non-receptor tyrosine kinases. Cbl is known to associate with the proto-oncogene product Vav, a hematopoietic-restricted Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor, but the consequences of this interaction remain to be elucidated. Using immortalized T cell lines from Cbl(+/+) and Cbl(-/-) mice, and transfection analyses in...
متن کاملInteraction of Vav with ENX-1, a putative transcriptional regulator of homeobox gene expression.
The proto-oncogene product Vav plays a critical role in hematopoietic signal transduction. By using the yeast two-hybrid system, we identified a novel human protein, ENX-1, which interacts specifically with Vav both in vitro and in vivo. ENX-1 represents the human homolog of the Drosophila Enhancer of zeste gene, a member of the Polycomb group of genes, which are transcriptional regulators of h...
متن کاملOverexpression of the VAV proto-oncogene product is associated with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia displaying loss on 13q.
The expression of the VAV proto-oncogene in 57 patients with chronic myeloproliferative disease (CMD), B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) and B-cell non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (B-NHL), and 61 with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) was analysed. VAV overexpression was observed in 19.5% of cases and 81% of VAV-positive tumours also displayed VAV phosphorylation. Overexpression was ...
متن کاملVav in natural killer cells is tyrosine phosphorylated upon cross-linking of Fc gamma RIIIA and is constitutively associated with a serine/threonine kinase.
Cross-linking of Fc gamma RIIIA (CD16) receptor on natural killer (NK) cells induces receptor-associated tyrosine kinase activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of numerous intracellular proteins, including phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma 1, PLC-gamma 2 and the associated zeta chain. Here we report that Vav, a proto-oncogene, also became tyrosine phosphorylated upon stimulation of CD16 in interleuk...
