Rhabdomyosarcoma: Advances in Molecular and Cellular Biology. [PDF]
, 2015 Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue malignancy in childhood and adolescence. The two major histological subtypes of RMS are alveolar RMS, driven by the fusion protein PAX3-FKHR or PAX7-FKHR, and embryonic RMS, which is usually ...

Preferential expression of the transcription coactivator HTIF1alpha gene in acute myeloid leukemia and MDS-related AML [PDF]
, 2002 HTIF1α, a transcription coactivator which is able to mediate RARα activity and functionally interact with PML, is encoded by a gene on chromosome 7q32–34, which is a critical region in acute myeloid leukemias (AML). With the assumption that this gene may

Apoptosis resistance in chronic myelogenous leukemia [PDF]
Einstein (São Paulo), 2005 The chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is the three-phasemyeloproliferative disorder, dependent on the expression of theoncoprotein Bcr-Abl, which is the product of the reciprocaltranslocation between chromosomes 9 and 22, resulting in thePhiladelphia ...

Changes in TFG gene expression in bovine leucocytes transformed by Theileria annulata
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 Theileria annulata schizont-infected host cells in culture in vitro show unlimited proliferation similar to tumor cells; thus far, T. annulata and T. parva are the only eukaryotes that have been found to transform mammalian cells (immortalized).

Optimal activation of an endogenous gene by HOX11 requires the NH 2- terminal 50 amine acids [PDF]
, 1998 The HOX11 homeobox gene was first identified through studies of the t(7;10) and t(10;14) chromosomal translocations of acute T-cell leukemia. In addition, analysis of Hox11(-/-) mice has demonstrated a critical role for this gene in murine spleen ...

Intrinsic Structural Disorder Confers Cellular Viability on Oncogenic Fusion Proteins
PLoS Computational Biology, 2009 Chromosomal translocations, which often generate chimeric proteins by fusing segments of two distinct genes, represent the single major genetic aberration leading to cancer. We suggest that the unifying theme of these events is a high level of intrinsic structural disorder, enabling fusion proteins to evade cellular surveillance mechanisms that ...

Homotypic and heterotypic interactions of EWS, FLI1 and their oncogenic fusion protein [PDF]
Oncogene, 2003 In Ewing's sarcoma family tumors, the ets transcription factor gene FLI1 is rearranged with one EWS allele resulting in coexpression of germline EWS and chimeric EWS-FLI1 proteins. Here, we investigated the potential of germline EWS, FLI1 and EWS-FLI1 to oligomerize. In two functional in vivo tests, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and the
