Disease relevance of Gene Fusion

 

High impact information on Gene Fusion

  • Moreover, ETV6-NTRK3 gene fusions provide a potential diagnostic marker for CFS [6].
  • A sax-3::GFP fusion gene is expressed in developing neurons during axon outgrowth, and sax-3 function is required at the time of axon guidance, suggesting that this gene mediates cell interactions during guidance decisions [7].
  • These gene fusions delete exon 1 of PDGFB, and release this growth factor from its normal regulation [8].
  • In more than 99% of cases, this disruption results in the formation of a PML-RARA gene fusion [9].
  • AP3 and PI also activate an AP3 promoter-reporter gene fusion, demonstrating that AP3 positively autoregulates [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Gene Fusion

 

Biological context of Gene Fusion

 

Anatomical context of Gene Fusion

  • We studied the in vivo expression of this MT-hHPRT fusion gene and observed preferential hHPRT expression in tissues of the central nervous system (CNS) [20].
  • Here, we employ RAG2-green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion gene knock-in mice to show that RAG(+) B lineage cells do appear in the spleen after the administration of alum alone, and that their appearance is independent of T cell interactions via the CD40 pathway [21].
  • We recently showed that a nerve growth factor-human growth hormone (NGF-hGH) fusion gene containing the promoter and 750 bp of 5' flanking region is transcriptionally active in the NGF-secreting L929 mouse fibroblast cell line [22].
  • To explore the function of IGF-I on SMC in vivo, the mouse SMC alpha-actin promoter fragment SMP8 (-1074 bp, 63 bp of 5'UT and 2.5 kb of intron 1) was cloned upstream of rat IGF-I cDNA, and the fusion gene microinjected to fertilized eggs of the FVB-N mouse strain [23].
  • We have studied the role of the Mll-AF9 gene fusion made in mouse embryonic stem cells by an homologous recombination knock-in [24].
 

Associations of Gene Fusion with chemical compounds

  • Thymidine kinase activity is regulated by cadmium when this fusion gene is transfected into mouse tk- L cells [25].
  • Here, we show that two tandemly linked GRE/PREs conferred progesterone inducibility synergistically to a heterologous TK-CAT fusion gene [26].
  • Using the BamC promoter driving a hygromycin-thymidine kinase fusion gene or controls, we demonstrated that sensitivity to ganciclovir was selectively enhanced in cells expressing EBNA2 [27].
  • Here we report that cAMP analogues and activators of adenylate cyclase regulate a proenkephalin-chloramphenicol acetyl transferase fusion gene when transiently expressed in tissue culture cells [28].
  • We showed previously that the transcript from an actin-HIS4 gene fusion containing the mutation TACTAAC to TACTACC (designated C259) is spliced inefficiently, thereby preventing growth on the histidine precursor histidinol [29].
 

Gene context of Gene Fusion

  • An assay has been developed to measure the functional activity of different forms of PRL receptor by cotransfecting a milk protein fusion gene specific to PRL coupled to a reporter-gene along with the cDNA of the PRL receptor [30].
  • To distinguish whether these factors bound to UAS2 cooperatively or formed a complex in the absence of DNA, HAP2 and HAP3 were tagged by gene fusion to LexA and beta-galactosidase, respectively, and purified through four chromatographic steps [31].
  • Using a combination of gene fusion analysis and pulse-chase experiments, we demonstrate that the hfq mutant is specifically impaired in rpoS translation [32].
  • Using Ddc-lacZ gene fusions, we show that these mutations affect Ddc expression in the embryo [33].
  • Expression of an unc-51/lacZ fusion gene was observed in many neurons at all stages [34].
