Same of these give rise to malignant melanoma following the appropriate crossings. For one of these pattern Iod from the platyfish Xiphophorus maculatus the melanoma-inducing gene has been doned and found to encode a novel receptor tyrosine kinase, designated Xmrk. Using molecular probes from this gene in Southern blot analyses on single fish DNA preparations from 600 specimens of different populations of various species of the genus Xiphophorus and their hybrids, either with or without melanomapredisposing pattern, it was shown that all individuals contain the Xmrk gene as a proto-oncogene. It is located on the sex chromosome. All fish that carry a melanoma-predisposing locus which has been identified by Mendelian genetics contain an additional copy of Xmrk, closely linked to a specific melanophore pattern locus on the sex chromosome. The melanoma-inducing loci of the different species and populations are homologous. The additional copy of Xmrk obviously arose by a geneduplication event, thereby acquiring the oncogenic potential. The homology of the melanomainducing Iod points to a similar mechanism of tumor suppression in all feral fish populations of the different species of the genus Xiphophorus.}, subject = {Physiologische Chemie}, language = {en} } @article{SchartlDimitrijevicSchartl1994, author = {Schartl, A. and Dimitrijevic, N. and Schartl, Manfred}, title = {Evolutionary origin and molecular biology of the melanoma-inducing oncogene of Xiphophorus}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-61954}, year = {1994}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Physiologische Chemie}, language = {en} } @article{RiehlSchartlKollinger1984, author = {Riehl, R. and Schartl, Manfred and Kollinger, G.}, title = {Comparative studies on the ultrastructure of malignant melanoma in fish and human by freeze-etching and transmission electron microscopy}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-61920}, year = {1984}, abstract = {Malignant melanomas (MM) in the fish Xiphophorus and in humans were studied both by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and freeze-etching (FE). In both fish and human melanomas the cells show interdigitations of the,plasma membranes. The nuclei are large and lobulated and have many nuclear pores. Melanosomes are abundant and melanosome complexes ("compound melanosomes") occur regularly. Pinocytotic vesicles could be demonstrated in fish and human melanomas showing iocal differences in frequency and distribution patterns in the tumor. lntercellular junctions are lacking in MM cells from fish and humans. The FE technique showed considerable advantages in demonstrating membrane-surface peculiarities such as nuclear pores or pinocytotic vesicles. The FE replicas of fish melanomas are like those of humans. These findings may support the hypothesis that melanoma in fish and humans reflect the same biological phenomenon.}, subject = {Physiologische Chemie}, language = {en} } @article{RiehlSchartl1984, author = {Riehl, R. and Schartl, Manfred}, title = {A Transmission Electron Microscopical and Freeze-Etch Study of Malignant-Melanoma in Fish}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-61916}, year = {1984}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Physiologische Chemie}, language = {en} } @article{RaulfRobertsonSchartl1989, author = {Raulf, F. and Robertson, S.

An insertion of 18 basepairs between exons 3 and 4, presumed to be due to alternative splicing of a mini-exon, gives rise to six amino acid residues not found in the non-neuronal (termed flbroblastic) form of pp60\(^{c-src}\). Wehave addressed the question of the evolutionary origin of the c-src neuronal insert ยท and its functional signiflcance regarding neural-speciflc expression of the c-src gene. To this end we have investigated whether the c-src gene of a lower verlebrate (the teleost fish Xiphophorus) gives rise to a neural-specific transcript in an analogous manner. We could show that the fish c-src gene does encode for a "fibroblastic" and a "neuronal" form of transcript and that the neuronal transcript does indeed arise by way of alternative splicing of a mini-exon. The miniexon is also 18 basepairs long and we could demoostrate directly that this exon lies within the intron separating exons 3 and 4. For comparative purposes we have examined whether the fish c-yes gene, the member of the src gene family most closely related to c-src, also encodes a neural tissue-specific transcript. No evidence for a second transcript form in brain was obtained. This result suggests that the mini-exon arose within the c-src gene lineage sometime between the srclyes gene duplication event and the divergence of the evolutionary lineage giving rise to the teleost fish. Published genomic sequence of src-related genes in Drosophila and our own results with Hydra demoostrate no intron in these species at the analogous location, consistent with first appearance of this mini-exon sometime between 550 and 400 million years ago.}, subject = {Physiologische Chemie}, language = {en} }
