ABSTRACT:
A novel DNA sequence is disclosed which encodes a protein associated with many human cancers. This protein is designated as metallopanstimulin-1 (MPS-1) since (1) it is associated with metal ions, particularly zinc; (2) it has been detected in numerous different types of cells; (3) it is associated with rapid cell proliferation. The MPS-1 mRNA and its encoded protein are expressed in normal cells to a much lesser degree than in premalignant or malignant tumor cells, and they are present at very low levels in senescent cells compared to young healthy cells. The DNA sequence and the protein can be used in diagnostic methods such as detection of malignant cells associated with several types of tumors. Thus, this invention discloses a method for determining the presence of certain types of malignant conditions in patients. The MPS-1 cDNA sequence has been inserted into convenient vectors, and a culture of E. coli cells containing the sequence has been deposited with the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), under accession number ATCC 68656.
