Resumen
Las grandes placas (Ip) mutantes del adenovirus 2 son defectuosas en la transformación celular. Las mutaciones dentro de los 19 kd antígenos tumorales.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología molecular La biología molecular.
- Virología Virología.
- Biología celular Biología celular.
Sus antecedentes:
- Los mutantes del adenovirus 2 de placa grande (Ip) forman grandes placas claras en las células KB humanas.
- Estos mutantes exhiben defectos en la inducción de la transformación de la línea celular 3Y1.1 del embrión de rata.
- El bloque genético temprano transformador E1b (posición del mapa 4.5-11.2) codifica 53 antígenos kd y 19 antígenos T kd.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar el papel de los mutantes de placas grandes (Ip) del Adenovirus 2 en la transformación celular.
- Para localizar la mutación Ip dentro del bloque genético transformador E1b.
- Analizar los defectos mutacionales específicos en el antígeno tumoral 19 kd y su impacto en la transformación.
Principales métodos:
- Transferencia de marcadores para localizar la mutación Ip dentro del bloque genético E1b.
- Análisis de la secuencia de ADN de los mutantes Ip (Ip3 e Ip5).
- Análisis de las proteínas virales E1 en los mutantes afectados.
Principales resultados:
- Las mutaciones ip se localizaron en la región codificadora del antígeno tumoral 19 kd dentro del bloque E1b.
- El mutante Ip3 mostró un cambio de un solo par de bases en el extremo N del polipéptido de 19 kd, alterando la alanina a la valina.
- El mutante Ip5 tenía dos mutaciones: una que alteró el ácido aspártico a tirosina cerca del N-termino, y otra que extendió el polipéptido de 19 kd cambiando un codón de parada.
Conclusiones:
- La evidencia genética directa confirma el papel esencial del antígeno tumoral 19 kd en la transformación celular inducida por el adenovirus 2.
- La región N-terminal del antígeno tumoral 19 kd es crítica para su función en la inducción de la transformación celular.
- Las alteraciones específicas en el antígeno 19 kd, incluidos los cambios N-terminales y la modificación del tamaño, afectan su actividad de transformación.

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.

Mechanisms of Retrovirus-induced Cancers
Retroviruses are RNA viruses that have been shown to cause cancers in diverse species, including chickens, mice, cats, and monkeys. The RNA genomes of these viruses are first reverse-transcribed into single and then double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) copies. This dsDNA called proviral DNA then integrates into the host genome. Subsequently, the host cell transcribes the proviral DNA in concert with the chromosomal DNA. This leads to the production of viral RNA and proteins that assemble at the host...
Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...
