摘要：

Expression of myelin proteins has been shown to be altered in transgenic mice that express papovaviral large tumor (T) antigens. This paper analyzes the effect on P-0 gene expression in secondary Schwann cells transfected with the SV40 T antigen gene and in Schwann cells immortalized by T antigen. In secondary Schwann cells, both T antigen and c-jun are required for significant inhibition of the P-0 promoter; expression of only one of the proteins is insufficient for repression of the P-0 gene. T antigen, c-jun (p39), and c-jun-related protein (p47) form an immunoprecipitable complex in SV40 immortalized Schwann cell lines, and T antigen and c-jun bind independently and as a complex to the P-0 promoter. Our data suggest that the probable molecular mechanism underlying the hypomyelination observed in transgenic animals expressing T antigen may be due to the repression of the P-0 gene by T antigen and c-jun.
