Monoclonal antibody detection of transformation associated protein (TAP) in ts110 Moloney murine sarcoma virus transformed 6M2 cells that are different from the mos gene product. 1986

J C Chan, and M E Keck, and W Li

By the use of a highly specific monoclonal antibody (designated MC), we were able to detect three radiolabeled bands with molecular weights of 60,000, 63,000, and 66,000 daltons in the ts-110 Moloney murine sarcoma virus mutant-transformed rat kidney cells known as 6M2. Expression of transformation properties as well as these three bands in 6M2 cells was found to be temperature sensitive. Therefore, MC detected factors that are apparently associated with the transformation of 6M2 cells. These factors are tentatively referred to as transformation associated proteins. These transformation proteins were found in two other Moloney murine sarcoma virus-transformed rat cell lines. These proteins were found to differ from known gene products of the ts-110 Moloney murine sarcoma virus mutant and do not have kinase activity. The transformation associated proteins may represent rat cellular factors activated during the transformation of rat cells by Moloney murine sarcoma virus.

D009154	Mutation	Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations.	Mutations
D010452	Peptide Biosynthesis	The production of PEPTIDES or PROTEINS by the constituents of a living organism. The biosynthesis of proteins on RIBOSOMES following an RNA template is termed translation (TRANSLATION, GENETIC). There are other, non-ribosomal peptide biosynthesis (PEPTIDE BIOSYNTHESIS, NUCLEIC ACID-INDEPENDENT) mechanisms carried out by PEPTIDE SYNTHASES and PEPTIDYLTRANSFERASES. Further modifications of peptide chains yield functional peptide and protein molecules.	Biosynthesis, Peptide
D010455	Peptides	Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS.	Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
