Translocation, breakage and truncated transcripts of c-myc oncogene in murine plasmacytomas

L W Stanton et al. Nature. 1983 Jun.

Abstract

Comparative nucleotide sequence analysis of a rearranged c-myc gene in a murine plasmacytoma and c-myc cDNA from normal spleen reveals that chromosomal translocation in the plasmacytoma breaks the c-myc gene within the first exon or intron. In the plasmacytoma truncated c-myc RNAs initiate from newly exposed promoter sites. Nevertheless, the myc polypeptide produced in the plasmacytoma is probably the same as that from the intact c-myc gene because the exon lost by breakage and translocation is non-coding. The second and third exons of the mouse c-myc gene are substantially conserved in the v-myc gene of the avian retrovirus, MC29.
