Functional Domains of the SYT and SYT-SSX Synovial Sarcoma Translocation Proteins and Co-Localization with the SNF Protein BRM in the Nucleus
1 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
The t(X;18)(p11.2;q11.2) chromosomal translocation commonly found in synovial sarcomas fuses the SYT gene on chromosome 18 to either of two similar genes, SSX1 or SSX2, on the X chromosome. The SYT protein appears to act as a transcriptional co-activator and the SSX proteins as co-repressors. Here we have investigated the functional domains of the proteins. The SYT protein has a novel conserved 54 amino acid...
