In vivo repression by a site-specific DNA-binding protein designed against an oncogenic sequence

Abstract

A DNA-binding peptide comprising three zinc-fingers has been engineered to bind specifically to a unique nine-base-pair region of a BCR-ABL fusion oncogene in preference to the parent genomic sequences. Binding to the target oncogene in chromosomal DNA is possible in transformed cells in culture, and results in blockage of transcription. Consequently, murine cells rendered independent of growth factors by the action of the oncogene revert to factor dependence upon transient transfection with a vector expressing the peptide.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
