The avian erythroblastosis virus v-erbA oncogene is imprecisely derived from a cellular gene (c-erbA) encoding a thyroid hormone receptor: the v-erbA protein has sustained both small terminal deletions and internal amino acid sequence changes relative to c-erbA. We report here that one of these missense differences between v- and c-erbA proteins, located in a zinc finger DNA binding domain, has dramatic effects on the biological activities of the encoded protein. Back mutation of the viral coding sequence to resemble c-erbA at this site severely impairs erythroid transformation and produces subtle changes in DNA binding by the encoded protein, suggesting that differences in DNA binding by the viral and cellular proteins may be involved in the activation of v-erbA as an oncogene. 相似文献

The avian erythroblastosis virus v-erbA locus potentiates the oncogenic transformation of erythroid and fibroblast cells and is derived from a host cell gene encoding a thyroid hormone receptor. We report here the use of site-directed mutagenesis to identify and characterize functional domains within the v-erbA protein. Genetic lesions introduced into a putative hinge region or at the extreme C-terminus of the v-erbA coding domain had no significant effect on the biological activity of this polypeptide. In contrast, mutations introduced within the cysteine-lysine-arginine-rich center of the v-erbA coding region, a DNA-binding domain in the thyroid and steroid hormone receptors, abolished or severely compromised the ability of the viral protein to function. Our results suggest that the mechanism of action of the v-erbA protein in establishing the neoplastic phenotype is closely related to its ability to interact with DNA, presumably thereby altering expression of host target genes by either mimicking or interfering with the action of the normal c-erbA gene product. 相似文献

The v-erbA oncogene, a transduced copy of a thyroid hormone receptor, plays an important role in establishment of the transformed cell phenotype induced by avian erythroblastosis virus. The ability of thyroid hormone receptors to bind to specific sites on chromatin and to thereby modify the expression of adjacent target genes is a crucial element in their mechanism of action in the normal cell. The v-erbA protein also bound at high affinity to a set of DNA fragments recognized by the rat thyroid hormone receptor, but the relative affinity of the v-erbA protein for the different binding sites was distinct from that previously reported for the thyroid hormone receptors. 相似文献

We have characterized the v-erbA and v-erbB oncogenes of td359, a transformation-defective mutant of avian erythroblastosis virus (AEV) unable to transform erythroblasts, and the revertant r12, obtained after in vivo passage of the mutant. Molecular cloning, sequencing, construction of chimeric viruses and testing of their oncogenic capacities revealed that both oncogenes of td359 are mutated and biologically defective. The r12 virus, although still containing a mutant v-erbB gene, recovered its erythroid transforming potential by acquiring a highly active gag-erbA gene. These results demonstrate that two co-operating oncogenes, an active v-erbA and a defective v-erbB, can transform a cell type not transformed by either oncogene alone. Furthermore, a single amino acid substitution inactivated the td359 v-erbA protein and we show that its reversion led to the reactivation of the protein. This lesion is located in the same region as several previously described inactivating mutations of glucocorticoid receptors, suggesting that the structure/function relationship of the virally transduced form of the c-erbA/thyroid hormone receptor is closely similar to that of steroid hormone receptors. 相似文献

v-erbA oncogene function in neoplasia correlates with its ability to repress retinoic acid receptor action. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The v-erbA oncoprotein of avian erythroblastosis virus is an aberrant version of a thyroid hormone receptor and functions in neoplasia by blocking erythroid differentiation and by modifying the growth properties of fibroblasts. v-erbA has been proposed to represent a novel dominant negative oncogene, acting in the cancer cell by interfering with the actions of its normal cell homologs, the thyroid hormone receptors. We report here that v-erbA can actually interfere with the actions of a variety of members of the steroid/retinoid receptor family and that the ability of v-erbA to act in neoplasia best correlates not with suppression of c-erbA action, but with interference with the retinoic acid receptor response. We suggest that v-erbA may act in neoplasia by promiscuously interfering with a retinoid-mediated differentiation process. 相似文献

We investigated the effect of the v-erbA oncogene product, an altered thyroid hormone receptor, in chicken erythrocyte progenitor cells. Bone marrow cells were infected with a retrovirus vector (XJ12) carrying the v-erbA gene in association with the neoR gene. XJ12-infected erythrocyte progenitor cells gave rise to G418-resistant clones. Some were composed of blast cells identified as transformed CFU-Es blocked in their differentiation. These cells could be grown in culture for at least 25 generations and required anemic chicken serum as a source of erythropoietic growth factors. XJ12 can infect erythrocyte progenitor cells in vivo but is not sufficient to induce erythroleukemia. These data suggest that the activation of a nuclear hormone receptor might represent one step toward the development of neoplasms. 相似文献
