Abstract

We have isolated mutants of Rous sarcoma virus from an unmutagenized stock of the Schmidt-Ruppin strain of Rous sarcoma virus. These mutants induce only a "partial" transformation, and the transformation properties induced show unusual properties or combinations. Cells infected with mutant CU2 have a unique "blebby" morphology, have lost surface fibronectin, form very small colonies in soft agar, and are nearly normal with respect to adhesiveness and hexose transport. Cells infected with mutant tsCU11 have a nearly normal morphology, but grow well in soft agar. Cells infected with mutant CU12 have a fusiform morphology, intermediate levels of hexose transport and fibronectin, and form very large colonies in soft agar. Because the appearance of the different parameters of transformation is dissociated in these mutant-infected cells, these data are interpreted as supporting a model in which the transforming protein pp60src interacts with more than one primary target in generating the transformed phenotype. All of the mutants display levels of pp60src kinase activity less than that of the wild type. In the case of mutant CU12, the lower kinase activity is in part a consequence of a lower steady-state amount of pp60src inside the c...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes

This feed focuses on a rare genetic condition called Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes, which are characterized by autoantibodies against multiple endocrine organs. This can lead to Type I Diabetes.

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathies

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PGASs), or polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes(PASs), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected. Discover the latest research on autoimmune polyendocrinopathies here.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
