The erbB gene of an avian erythroblastosis virus, AEV-H, was determined to be 1812 nucleotides long and was predicted to code for a protein of 67,638 daltons. Unexpectedly, a sequence of 285 amino acids in the middle of the protein showed a significant homology (38%) with the sequence in the carboxy terminus of p60src. The nucleotide sequence of a mutant of AEV-H, td-130, which induces sarcomas but not erythroblastosis in chicken, was also analyzed. A deletion of 169 nucleotides was identified in the 3' half of the erbB gene, indicating that the gene codes for a truncated protein with the predicted molecular weight of 46,667. These findings suggest that the homologous domain of erbB protein with its N-terminal portion is sufficient for the transformation of fibroblasts and that one-third of the carboxy-terminal domain has a key role for the transformation of erythroid cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D009857 Oncogenes Genes whose gain-of-function alterations lead to NEOPLASTIC CELL TRANSFORMATION. They include, for example, genes for activators or stimulators of CELL PROLIFERATION such as growth factors, growth factor receptors, protein kinases, signal transducers, nuclear phosphoproteins, and transcription factors. A prefix of "v-" before oncogene symbols indicates oncogenes captured and transmitted by RETROVIRUSES; the prefix "c-" before the gene symbol of an oncogene indicates it is the cellular homolog (PROTO-ONCOGENES) of a v-oncogene.
