| Popis: | CHOP in 12q13, also called GADD153 or DDIT3, encodes a transcription factor of the C/EBP type. As a result of t(12;16) translocations, CHOP is rearranged and fused to TLS in 16p11 in about 90% of myxoid liposarcomas/round cell liposarcomas (MLS/RCLS). The TLS-CHOP protein consists of the N-terminal half of TLS juxtaposed to the N-terminal of the entire CHOP. It is capable of forming dimers with the natural dimer partners of CHOP. Here we report that recombinant TLS-CHOP-green fluorescence protein localizes to nuclear structures, similar to, but distinct from, PML nuclear bodies. The TLS-CHOP-green fluorescent protein nuclear structures are resistant to high salt concentration and nuclease treatment. Transfection of TLS-CHOP to normal fibroblasts causes a rapid down regulation and relocation of PML nuclear bodies. An abnormal extra nuclear localization of PML bodies was also found in TLS-CHOP carrying cell lines established from myxoid liposarcomas. Transfection of TLS-CHOP induced a rapid disappearance of PCNA. TLS-CHOP may disturb the nuclear machinery by binding and sequestering important factors from their natural sites. |
