From the We have identified a novel c-Myc-responsive gene,
named JPO1, by representational difference analysis.
JPO1 responds to two inducible c-Myc systems and behaves as
a direct c-Myc target gene. JPO1 mRNA expression is
readily detectable in the thymus, small intestine, and colon, whereas
expression is relatively low in spleen, bone marrow, and peripheral
leukocytes. We cloned a full-length JPO1 cDNA that
encodes a 47-kDa nuclear protein. To determine the role of JPO1 in
Myc-mediated cellular phenotypes, stable Rat1a fibroblasts
overexpressing JPO1 were tested and compared with transformed Rat1a-Myc
cells. Although JPO1 has a diminished transforming activity as compared
with c-Myc, JPO1 complements a transformation-defective Myc Box II
mutant in the Rat1a transformation assay. This complementation provides
evidence for a genetic link between c-Myc and JPO1. Similar to c-Myc,
JPO1 overexpression enhances the clonogenicity of CB33 human
lymphoblastoid cells in methylcellulose assays. These observations suggest that JPO1 participates in c-Myc-mediated transformation, supporting an emerging concept that c-Myc target genes constitute nodal
points in a network of pathways that lead from c-Myc to various
Myc-related phenotypes and ultimately to tumorigenesis.
The nucleotide sequence(s) reported in this paper has been submitted to the GenBankTM/EMBL Data Bank with accession number(s) AY029179.
