Complete nucleotide sequence of a human c-onc gene: deduced amino acid sequence of the human c-fos protein. 1983

F van Straaten, and R Müller, and T Curran, and C Van Beveren, and I M Verma

The complete nucleotide sequence of the c-fos(human) gene, the human cellular homolog of the oncogene (v-fos) of Finkel-Biskis-Jinkins murine osteosarcoma virus, has been determined. The c-fos(human) gene contains four discontinuous regions when compared with the v-fos gene. Three of the discontinuities are flanked by sequences characteristic of introns, while the fourth discontinuity is due to a deletion of 104 base pairs in the v-fos gene. As a consequence of the deletion, the predicted c-fos(human) and v-fos gene products differ at their carboxyl termini. Transcripts of 2.2 kilobases from the c-fos(human) gene have been identified in human cells. The sizes of these transcripts are in close agreement with the size expected from the nucleotide sequence after removal of introns.

D007945 Leukemia, Lymphoid Leukemia associated with HYPERPLASIA of the lymphoid tissues and increased numbers of circulating malignant LYMPHOCYTES and lymphoblasts. Leukemia, Lymphocytic,Lymphocytic Leukemia,Lymphoid Leukemia,Leukemias, Lymphocytic,Leukemias, Lymphoid,Lymphocytic Leukemias,Lymphoid Leukemias
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.
