Record 2 1997-05-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology
CONT

A very original set of experiments carried out by the Unit of Molecular Biology of Gene Expression concerns another protein essential for mouse development that is also a transcription factor. This factor known as KBF2 or RBP-Jk is homologous to a Drosophila gene product, Su(H)(Suppressor of Hairless), which belongs to the Notch signal transduction cascade involved in regulating the competence of a cell to respond to specific developmental cues. A likely function of the Su(H) protein is to serve as an anchor on DNA for non DNA-binding transcriptional activators. This function is conserved in the Notch pathway : the activation of this transmembrane receptor likely involves a proteolytic cleavage step which releases its intracellular domain; following nuclear translocation, it activates its target genes by binding to the Su(H) protein, which is already bound to several sites in the target promoters.

  • Génétique
  • Biologie moléculaire
CONT

La protéine Su(H), impliquée dans l'activité de transmission de ce signal, semble capable de s'associer à la région intracellulaire de Notch. C'est un facteur de transcription qui se lie à certaines séquences localisées dans les promoteurs de plusieurs des gènes cibles de Notch.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
DEF

Competence provoking factor.(RIGGE)

CONT

The competence factor is effective not only with cells of the same strain, and of some other related strains which have the potential to achieve competence in its absence, but also with certain specific streptococcal strains which are not naturally transformable.(HAGEB p. 588)

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
DEF

Le facteur de compétence, macromolécule protéique dont la présence est nécessaire à l'acquisition de la compétence, est libre dans le milieu, ou constituant de la membrane cellulaire, auquel cas il est fixé sur sont site-récepteur. (HUTRA p. 3)

CONT

La compétence serait régie par un ensemble de gènes responsables de la synthèse d'un facteur de compétence et de son site-récepteur. (HUTRA p. 3)
