Identification of a Gene Family Regulated by Transforming Growth Factor-β

Abstract

We have identified two related genes whose mRNAs are increased after treatment with transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β1). Mouse AKR-2B cells were treated with TGF-β1 in the presence of cyclohexamide and a cDNA library was subjected to differential screening. Several TGF-β-induced genes (βIG) were isolated and two of these, βIG-M1 and βIG-M2, were characterized. βIG-M1 and βIG-M2 RNAs were significantly increased after TGF-β1 treatment and both were superinduced in the presence of cyclohexamide. cDNA sequence analysis of βIG-M1 showed that it encoded a 379-amino-acid protein which was 81% homologous to CEF-10, a v- src and TPA-inducible gene, and identical to cyr61, a gene induced by serum in growth-arrested BALB-3T3 cells. cDNA sequence analysis of βIG-M2 showed that it encoded a 348-amino-acid protein that was 50% homologous to βIG-M1. Thirty-eight cysteine residues are conserved between βIG-M1 and βIG-M2, which are clustered at the amino and carboxy ends: The middle regions of the two proteins are cysteine free and display the highest degree of nonhomology. Both proteins contain an amino-terminal cysteine-rich motif common to insulin-like growth factor binding proteins and a carboxy-terminal domain with strong homology to a motif found near the carboxy-terminal of the malarial circumsporozoite protein which may be involved in cell adhesion. The regulation of mRNA encoding these proteins by TGF-β1 suggests that they may be involved in mediating some of the pleiotropic effects of this multipotent modulator of cell growth and differentiation.

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.
