A partial amino acid sequence of human platelet-derived growth factor, the major mitogen in serum for cells of mesenchymal origin, has been determined. A region of 104 contiguous amino acids shows virtual identity with the predicted sequence of p28sis, the putative transforming protein of simian sarcoma virus (SSV). This similarity suggests a mechanism for transformation by SSV and other agents, involving expression of growth factors.
已确定人血小板衍生生长因子(血清中对间充质来源细胞起主要促有丝分裂作用的因子)的部分氨基酸序列。104个连续氨基酸的区域与猿猴肉瘤病毒(SSV)假定的转化蛋白p28sis的预测序列几乎完全相同。这种相似性提示了SSV及其他因子的转化机制,涉及生长因子的表达。
