Enforced effect of tk-MCP-1 fusion gene in ovarian cancer
OBJECTIVE The efficiency of HSV-tk/GCV system is not high because of insufficient gene transfer and incompletely initiative of host antineoplastic potency. The present study was designed to assess the antitumor efficacy of tk-MCP-1 on ovarian cancer in vitro and vivo. METHODS A novel bicistronic expression system can help to improve the expression level of a gene in a stable manner. pLXSN/tk-...
متن کاملAn internal ribosome entry site directs translation of the murine gammaherpesvirus 68 MK3 open reading frame.
The gammaherpesviruses characteristically drive the proliferation of latently infected lymphocytes. The murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) MK3 protein contributes to this process in vivo by evading CD8(+)-T-cell recognition during latency, as well as during lytic infection. We analyzed some of the molecular mechanisms that control MK3 expression. No dedicated MK3 mRNA was detected. Instead, th...
متن کاملA single internal ribosome entry site containing a G quartet RNA structure drives fibroblast growth factor 2 gene expression at four alternative translation initiation codons.
The 484-nucleotide (nt) alternatively translated region (ATR) of the human fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) mRNA contains four CUG and one AUG translation initiation codons. Although the 5'-end proximal CUG codon is initiated by a cap-dependent translation process, the other four initiation codons are initiated by a mechanism of internal entry of ribosomes. We undertook here a detailed analys...
متن کاملTranslation initiation at the CUU codon is mediated by the internal ribosome entry site of an insect picorna-like virus in vitro.
AUG-unrelated translation initiation was found in an insect picorna-like virus, Plautia stali intestine virus (PSIV). The positive-strand RNA genome of the virus contains two nonoverlapping open reading frames (ORFs). The capsid protein gene is located in the 3'-proximal ORF and lacks an AUG initiation codon. We examined the translation mechanism and the initiation codon of the capsid protein g...
متن کاملAn unusual internal ribosomal entry site of inverted symmetry directs expression of a potato leafroll polerovirus replication-associated protein.
Potato leafroll polerovirus (PLRV) genomic RNA acts as a polycistronic mRNA for the production of proteins P0, P1, and P2 translated from the 5'-proximal half of the genome. Within the P1 coding region we identified a 5-kDa replication-associated protein 1 (Rap1) essential for viral multiplication. An internal ribosome entry site (IRES) with unusual structure and location was identified that re...
