The Splicing Factor U1C Represses EWS/FLI-mediated Transactivation

Abstract excerpt

EWS is an RNA-binding protein involved in human tumor-specific chromosomal translocations. In approximately 85% of Ewing's sarcomas, such translocations give rise to the chimeric gene EWS/FLI. In the resulting fusion protein, the RNA binding domains from the C terminus of EWS are replaced by the DNA-binding domain of the ETS protein FLI-1. EWS/FLI can function as a transcription factor with the same DNA binding...
