A 5' regulatory sequence containing two Ets motifs controls the expression of the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) gene in human hematopoietic cells.
The recently-identified Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein gene (WASP) is responsible for the Wiskott-Aldrich X-linked immunodeficiency as well as for isolated X-linked thrombocytopenia (XLT). To characterize the regulatory sequences of the WASP gene, we have isolated, sequenced and functionally analyzed a 1.6-Kb DNA fragment upstream of the WASP coding sequence. Transfection experiments showed t...
متن کاملWIP, a protein associated with wiskott-aldrich syndrome protein, induces actin polymerization and redistribution in lymphoid cells.
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an X-linked immunodeficiency caused by mutations that affect the WAS protein (WASP) and characterized by cytoskeletal abnormalities in hematopoietic cells. By using the yeast two-hybrid system we have identified a proline-rich WASP-interacting protein (WIP), which coimmunoprecipitated with WASP from lymphocytes. WIP binds to WASP at a site distinct from the Cdc...
متن کاملThe identification of hematopoietic-specific regulatory elements for WASp gene expression
Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C) technology was used to identify physical interactions between the proximal Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASp) promoter and its distant DNA segments in Jurkat-T cells. We found that two hematopoietic specific DNase I hypersensitive (DHS) sites (proximal DHS-A, and distal DHS-B) which had high interaction frequencies with the proximal WASp promoter indica...
متن کاملMosaicism of NK cells in a patient with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome.
Rare cases of somatic mosaicism resulting from reversion of inherited mutations can lead to the attenuation of blood-cell disorders, including Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS). The impact of the revertant hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells, particularly their representation in blood-cell populations, is of interest because it predicts the outcome of gene therapy. Here we report an 8-year-old ...
متن کاملWiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein regulates podosomes in primary human macrophages.
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) is a hematopoietic-specific, multidomain protein whose mutation is responsible for the immunodeficiency disorder Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. WASp contains a binding motif for the Rho GTPase CDC42Hs as well as verprolin/cofilin-like actin-regulatory domains, but no specific actin structure regulated by CDC42Hs-WASp has been identified. We found that WASp col...
