The v-sea oncogene of avian erythroblastosis retrovirus S13: another member of the protein-tyrosine kinase gene family.

چکیده
The cloning and sequencing of the oncogene of the avian erythroblastosis virus S13 is described. The oncogene, termed v-sea, was found to be another member of the protein-tyrosine kinase gene family. The oncogene was fused in frame with the retrovirus S13 envelope gene, thus generating a fusion protein with a structure resembling that of a growth factor receptor. Sequence comparisons revealed that the v-sea gene was most closely related to the insulin receptor family of protein-tyrosine kinases, the greatest similarity being with the human MET oncogene.

The tyrosines in the bidentate motif of the env-sea oncoprotein are essential for cell transformation and are binding sites for Grb2 and the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2.
The transforming gene product of the S13 avian erythroblastosis virus, the env-sea protein, is a member of the hepatocyte growth factor receptor family of tyrosine kinases comprising Met, Ron, and Sea. Like all three members of this family, the env-sea protein has a so-called bidentate motif (Y557INMAVTY564VNL) composed of two tandemly arranged tyrosines in the carboxyl terminus. To investigate...

The transforming gene product of the S13 avian erythroblastosis virus, env-sea, is a member of the growth factor receptor class of tyrosine kinases. The env-sea precursor protein gp155env-sea is proteolytically processed into the mature cleavage products gp85env and gp70env-sea, which are subsequently terminally glycosylated and transported to the cell surface. Previous studies have shown that ...
متن کاملThe thyroid hormone receptor functions as a ligand-operated developmental switch between proliferation and differentiation of erythroid progenitors.
The avian erythroblastosis virus (AEV) oncoprotein v-ErbA represents a mutated, oncogenic thyroid hormone receptor alpha (c-ErbA/ TRalpha). v-ErbA cooperates with the stem cell factor-activated, endogenous receptor tyrosine kinase c-Kit to induce self-renewal and to arrest differentiation of primary avian erythroblasts, the AEV transformation target cells. In this cooperation, v-ErbA substitute...
متن کاملStructural domains of the avian erythroblastosis virus erbB protein required for fibroblast transformation: dissection by in-frame insertional mutagenesis.
Avian erythroblastosis virus (AEV) induces erythroblastosis and fibrosarcomas. The viral erbB protein is required for AEV-mediated oncogenesis. To explore the structural aspects of the v-erbB polypeptide necessary for its oncogenic function, we created a series of small in-frame insertions in different domains of the v-erbB oncogene. AEV genomes bearing lesions within the v-erbB kinase domain d...

Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) are effective for non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) with EGFR-activating mutations. However, most responders develop resistance. Efatutazone, a novel peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonist, is currently under clinical evaluation; it has antiproliferative effects and induces cellular morphological ...
