    Description: Binding of antibodies to effector cells by way of receptors to their constant regions (Fc receptors) is central to the pathway that leads to clearance of antigens by the immune system. The structure and function of this important class of receptors on immune cells is addressed through the molecular characterization of Fc receptors (FcR) specific for the murine immunoglobulin G isotype. Structural diversity is encoded by two genes that by alternative splicing result in expression of molecules with highly conserved extracellular domains and different transmembrane and intracytoplasmic domains. The proteins encoded by these genes are members of the immunoglobulin supergene family, most homologous to the major histocompatibility complex molecule E beta. Functional reconstitution of ligand binding by transfection of individual FcR genes demonstrates that the requirements for ligand binding are encoded in a single gene. These studies demonstrate the molecular basis for the functional heterogeneity of FcR's, accounting for the possible transduction of different signals in response to a single ligand.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ravetch, J V -- Luster, A D -- Weinshank, R -- Kochan, J -- Pavlovec, A -- Portnoy, D A -- Hulmes, J -- Pan, Y C -- Unkeless, J C -- AI 24322/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- GM 36306/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 Nov 7;234(4777):718-25.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2946078" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Basic and acidic fibroblast growth factors (FGF's) are potent mitogens for capillary endothelial cells in vitro, stimulate angiogenesis in vivo, and may participate in tissue repair. An oligonucleotide probe for bovine basic FGF was designed from the nucleotide sequence of the amino-terminal exon of bovine acidic FGF, taking into account the 55 percent amino acid sequence homology between the two factors. With this oligonucleotide probe, a full length complementary DNA for basic FGF was isolated from bovine pituitary. Basic FGF in bovine hypothalamus was shown to be encoded by a single 5.0-kilobase messenger RNA; in a human hepatoma cell line, both 4.6- and 2.2-kilobase basic FGF messenger RNA's were present. Both growth factors seem to be synthesized with short amino-terminal extensions that are not found on the isolated forms for which the amino acid sequences have been determined. Neither basic nor acidic FGF has a classic signal peptide.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Abraham, J A -- Mergia, A -- Whang, J L -- Tumolo, A -- Friedman, J -- Hjerrild, K A -- Gospodarowicz, D -- Fiddes, J C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 Aug 1;233(4763):545-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2425435" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a replication-defective etiological agent of hepatitis that requires hepatitis B virus (HBV) as a helper. A complementary DNA (cDNA) fragment of the RNA genome of HDV was cloned into the plasmid vector pBR322, and the primary nucleotide sequence and predicted protein products of the cDNA fragment were determined. This cloned cDNA fragment has been used as a sensitive radioactive probe for the detection of HDV RNA in the serum of patients with either acute or chronic HDV infections.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Denniston, K J -- Hoyer, B H -- Smedile, A -- Wells, F V -- Nelson, J -- Gerin, J L -- N01-AI-22665/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 May 16;232(4752):873-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3704630" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In Trypanosomatidae the messenger RNA's (mRNA's) that code for the variant surface glycoproteins (VSG's), tubulins, calmodulin, and at least a subset of other proteins contain a common 35-nucleotide leader sequence at their 5' ends. Hybrid-arrested in vitro translation has been used to show that all mRNA's in both African and South American trypanosomes contain this 35-nucleotide sequence. Oligonucleotides complementary to this sequence blocked translation of all trypanosome mRNA's in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate system, but did not inhibit translation of mRNA's from other organisms lacking this sequence. An oligonucleotide complementary to the VSG mRNA downstream from the spliced leader sequence arrested only VSG synthesis. Thus, the 35-nucleotide leader sequence is a general feature of all trypanosome mRNA's. The high specificity of oligonucleotides complementary to the spliced leader for their target sequence suggests that analogues permeable to the cell membrane may be useful in the treatment of trypanosomal infections.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Walder, J A -- Eder, P S -- Engman, D M -- Brentano, S T -- Walder, R Y -- Knutzon, D S -- Dorfman, D M -- Donelson, J E -- AI-18954/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AM-25295/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- HL-33555/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 Aug 1;233(4763):569-71.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3523758" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Antigenic or mitogenic stimulation of T cells induces the secretion of an array of protein hormones that regulate immune responses. Molecular cloning has contributed strongly to our present understanding of the nature of this regulation. A complementary DNA (cDNA) library prepared from a cloned concanavalin A-activated mouse T-helper cell line was screened for abundant and induction-specific cDNA's. One such randomly chosen cDNA was found to encode mouse preproenkephalin messenger RNA (mRNA). Preproenkephalin mRNA represented about 0.4 percent of the mRNA in the activated cell line but was absent in resting cells of this line. Other induced T-helper cell lines have 0.1 to 0.5 percent of their mRNA as preproenkephalin mRNA. Induced T-helper cell culture supernatants have [Met]enkephalin-immunoreactive material. The production by activated T cells of a peptide neurotransmitter identifies a signal that can potentially permit T cells to modulate the nervous system.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zurawski, G -- Benedik, M -- Kamb, B J -- Abrams, J S -- Zurawski, S M -- Lee, F D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 May 9;232(4751):772-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2938259" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Members of the ras gene family encode proteins that when overproduced or mutated can transform immortalized mammalian cells. It is therefore important to understand the mechanisms by which the ras genes are regulated. The promoter region of the human Harvey ras proto-oncogene c-Ha-ras1 initiates RNA transcription at multiple sites and contains repeated copies of the hexanucleotide GGGCGG and its inverted complement CCGCCC, referred to as GC boxes. These GC boxes consist of sequences identical to those found in the SV40 early promoter, where the human cellular transcriptional factor Sp1 binds. Footprinting analysis with deoxyribonuclease I was used to show that Sp1 binds to six GC box sequences within the c-Ha-ras1 promoter. An in vivo transfection assay showed competition between the 21-base pair repeats of the SV40 promoter and the c-Ha-ras1 promoter for common regulatory factors. In this system the presence of Sp1 is apparently required for c-Ha-ras1 transcription. Analysis of deletions of the c-Ha-ras1 promoter region by means of a transient expression assay revealed that the three Sp1 binding sites closest to the RNA start sites were sufficient for full transcriptional activity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ishii, S -- Kadonaga, J T -- Tjian, R -- Brady, J N -- Merlino, G T -- Pastan, I -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 Jun 13;232(4756):1410-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3012774" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Hereditary hypogonadism in the hypogonadal (hpg) mouse is caused by a deletional mutation of at least 33.5 kilobases encompassing the distal half of the gene for the common biosynthetic precursor of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and GnRH-associated peptide (GAP). The partially deleted gene is transcriptionally active as revealed by in situ hybridization histochemistry of hpg hypothalamic tissue sections, but immunocytochemical analysis failed to show the presence of antigen corresponding to any part of the precursor protein.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mason, A J -- Hayflick, J S -- Zoeller, R T -- Young, W S 3rd -- Phillips, H S -- Nikolics, K -- Seeburg, P H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 Dec 12;234(4782):1366-71.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3024317" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Expression of the dopa decarboxylase gene (Ddc) is regulated in a tissue- and developmental stage-specific manner throughout the life cycle of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Essential Ddc regulatory elements lie within 208 base pairs upstream from the RNA start point. Functional elements within this 5' flanking region were mapped by deletion analysis, which assayed expression in vivo after germline integration via P element vectors. One of the elements is essential for expression in both the larval and adult central nervous system, and at least two other elements are necessary for quantitatively normal expression in the hypoderm. Within each of the intervals that have regulatory effects are found sequence elements conserved between the Ddc genes of two distantly related species of flies. On the basis of this correlation, regulatory functions for these sequence elements can be postulated.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Scholnick, S B -- Bray, S J -- Morgan, B A -- McCormick, C A -- Hirsh, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 Nov 21;234(4779):998-1002.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3095924" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: An endonucleolytic activity has been identified in nuclear extracts of chick embryo bursa and mouse fetal liver cells. The activity introduces a double-strand cut in the vicinity of the recombination site of immunoglobulin joining gene segments. The cleavage occurs at the dinucleotide pair TG-AC. This activity is a good candidate for the putative endonuclease involved in recombination of the immunoglobulin variable, diversity, and joining regions. It is distinct from the endonuclease activities previously reported by others.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hope, T J -- Aguilera, R J -- Minie, M E -- Sakano, H -- AI-18790/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 Mar 7;231(4742):1141-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3003919" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Transducin is a guanyl nucleotide-binding protein that couples rhodopsin photolysis to hydrolysis of guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate in rod photoreceptor cells of vertebrate retinas. Several complementary DNA clones encoding transducin subunits have recently been characterized. One clone, isolated from a bovine retina complementary DNA library, encodes a previously unidentified polypeptide with an amino acid sequence 78% identical to the sequence of the alpha subunit of bovine rod outer segment transducin. Antibodies to a synthetic peptide with amino acid sequence derived specifically from this novel polypeptide recognize a 41-kilodalton polypeptide in homogenates of bovine retina. Localization of this polypeptide in bovine retina by indirect immunofluorescence demonstrates that it is expressed only in cone outer segments. Antibodies to specific sequences found only in the rod transducin alpha subunit recognize a polypeptide localized only in the rod outer segment. Therefore, bovine rod and cone cells each express structurally related yet significantly different forms of transducin.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lerea, C L -- Somers, D E -- Hurley, J B -- Klock, I B -- Bunt-Milam, A H -- EYO 1311/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- EYO 1730/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 Oct 3;234(4772):77-80.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3529395" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
