Abstract
The POU domain transcription factor Oct-6 is a major regulator of Schwann cell differentiation and myelination. During nerve development and regeneration, expression of Oct-6 is under the control of axonal signals. Identification of the cis-acting elements necessary for Oct-6 gene regulation is an important step in deciphering the complex signalling between Schwann cells and axons governing myelination. Here we show that a fragment distal to the Oct-6 gene, containing two DNase I-hypersensitive sites, acts as the Oct-6 Schwann cell-specific enhancer (SCE). The SCE is sufficient to drive spatially and temporally correct expression, during both normal peripheral nerve development and regeneration. We further demonstrate that a tagged version of Oct-6, driven by the SCE, rescues the peripheral nerve phenotype of Oct-6-deficient mice. Thus, our isolation and characterization of the Oct-6 SCE provides the first description of a cis-acting genetic element that responds to converging signalling pathways to drive myelination in the peripheral nervous system.

Abstract
Research into the POU transcription factor Oct-6 has been the focus of much current attention, in particular its role in Schwann cell development and differentiation. Based on published data and data presented here, we propose a model for Oct-6 function at two distinct stages of Schwann cell maturation. First, Oct-6 function is required in promyelin cells for their timely differentiation into myelinating cells. Second, Oct-6 functions during myelination and is required for the proper downregulation of its own gene. While the first function of Oct-6 is firmly established, the second function is still highly hypothetical. Experiments to establish a distinct role for Oct-6 in late Schwann cell differentiation are discussed.

Abstract
The POU transcription factor Oct-6, also known as SCIP or Tst-1, has been implicated as a major transcriptional regulator in Schwann cell differentiation. Microscopic and immunochemical analysis of sciatic nerves of Oct-6(-/-) mice at different stages of postnatal development reveals a delay in Schwann cell differentiation, with a transient arrest at the promyelination stage. Thus, Oct-6 appears to be required for the transition of promyelin cells to myelinating cells. Once these cells progress past this point, Oct-6 is no longer required, and myelination occurs normally.

Abstract
The t(6;9) that characterizes a specific subtype of ANLL fuses the 3' part of a gene located on chromosome 9q34, CAN, to the 5' part of a gene located on chromosome 6p23, DEK. On the 6p- chromosome, the resulting DEK-CAN fusion gene is transcribed into a leukaemia-specific 5.5 kb chimaeric mRNA that encodes a putative DEK-CAN fusion protein. No transcription could be detected from the reciprocal CAN-DEK fusion on chromosome 9q+. Analysis of 17 t(6;9) ANLL cases showed that the translocation breakpoints occur in a single intron of 7.5 kb in the CAN gene (ICB9) and in a single intron of 9 kb in the DEK gene (ICB6). As a result, the presence of a t(6;9) in blood or bone marrow cells can be faithfully diagnosed by Southern blotting. Moreover, the result of the translocation is an invariable DEK-CAN transcript, which can be sensitively monitored by RNA-PCR. Surprisingly, a SET-CAN fusion gene was found in leukaemic cells from a patient with AUL. Like CAN, SET is located on chromosome 9q34, which explains the apparently normal karyotype of the leukaemic cells. The occurrence of a SET-CAN fusion gene indicates that CAN may be the relevant oncogene involved in leukaemogenesis, and that activation of CAN can be effectuated through fusion of its 3' part to either DEK or SET. As yet, the function of CAN, DEK or SET is unknown. None of the proteins shows consistent homology to any known protein sequences. However, preliminary localization data and analysis of sequence motifs suggested that DEK-CAN may have a role in transcription regulation. CAN contains several dimerization domains and a repeated motif that can function as an ancillary DNA-binding domain. DEK and SET are non-related proteins, but they share a stretch of acidic amino acids, which is also present in the fusion proteins.

Abstract
The translocation (6;9) is associated with a specific subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Previously, it was found that breakpoints on chromosome 9 are clustered in one of the introns of a large gene named Cain (can). cDNA probes derived from the 3' part of can detect an aberrant, leukemia-specific 5.5-kb transcript in bone marrow cells from t(6;9) AML patients. cDNA cloning of this mRNA revealed that it is a fusion of sequences encoded on chromosome 6 and 3' can. A novel gene on chromosome 6 which was named dek was isolated. In dek the t(6;9) breakpoints also occur in one intron. As a result the dek-can fusion gene, present in t(6;9) AML, encodes an invariable dek-can transcript. Sequence analysis of the dek-can cDNA showed that dek and can are merged without disruption of the original open reading frames and therefore the fusion mRNA encodes a chimeric DEK-CAN protein of 165 kDa. The predicted DEK and CAN proteins have molecular masses of 43 and 220 kDa, respectively. Sequence comparison with the EMBL data base failed to show consistent homology with any known protein sequences.

Abstract
Plants infected with cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) (KIN strain) produce a mild mosaic disease on tobacco whereas infections of CMV with satellite RNA (strain Y) cause a severe yellow mosaic. Analysis of recombinant and mutant forms of satellite RNA identified a site (nucleotides 185/186) in the Y satellite RNA that affects the ability to induce the yellow mosaic in combination with CMV but not with tomato aspermy virus. The location of this site with respect to other mutations in the satellite RNA indicated that polypeptides, which may be encoded by the satellite RNA, have no role in induction of yellow mosaic symptoms. The symptom induction is therefore an effect of the satellite RNA on the host plant with the intervention of the helper virus. In the course of the mutation analysis of satellite RNA we detected several secondary mutations which arose in planta. Two of these were deletions of more than 80 nucleotides. Other forms of mutant satellite RNA were non-functional even though the modifications involved nucleotides completely within the large secondary deletions. These data imply complex intramolecular interactions in the satellite RNA.

Abstract
The location of a sequence within the Y satellite RNA of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) that confers the ability to induce necrosis on tomato plants has been analysed using chimeric satellite RNAs. These recombinant RNA molecules contained parts of the Y (necrogenic) and Ra (benign) satellite RNAs and were inoculated into tomato plants together with CMV helper virus. From the composition of the recombinant satellite RNAs that induced necrosis it was concluded that, of the nucleotides which differ between Y and Ra satellite RNAs, those affecting necrosis are on the 3' side of nucleotide 259. The composition of satellite RNAs that failed to induce necrosis implies that at least some of the necrogenic positions are on the 3' side of nucleotide 311. The symptoms induced by mutated forms of Y and Ra satellite RNAs showed that nucleotide spacing between positions 322 and 323 and sequence identity at one or more of nucleotides 318, 323 or 325 affects the necrogenic potential of Y satellite RNA. The effect of a frameshifting mutation in Y satellite RNA and the location of the necrogenic sites relative to open reading frames in other satellite RNAs suggested that necrosis is not caused by polypeptides encoded in satellite RNA.

Abstract
Complementary DNAs of two different satellite RNA isolates from cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Y from Japan and Ra from France, have been cloned in a transcription vector containing the Pr promoter. When inoculated on plants with CMV RNA (strain KIN), the transcripts of the cloned Y satellite cDNA elicit a bright yellow mosaic on tobacco and a lethal necrosis on tomato. Addition of the transcripts of the Ra satellite cDNA to an inoculum of CMV RNA resulted in symptom attenuation on both tobacco and tomato, in agreement with the characterized symptoms of the natural satellite. Recombinant molecules involving these two satellites have been constructed in order to determine which parts of the Y satellite RNA are involved in symptom induction. The determinant for symptom production on tobacco lies in the region between nucleotides 1 and 219. The domain for necrotic symptoms on tomato resides on the 3' half of the molecule beyond nucleotide 219.

Abstract
A set of full-length DNA copies of both M and B RNA of cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) was cloned downstream of a phage T7 promoter. Upon in vitro transcription using T7 RNA polymerase, M and B RNA-like transcripts were obtained from these DNA copies with only two additional nucleotides at the 5' end and five extra nucleotides at the 3' end in comparison to natural viral RNA. In cowpea protoplasts the transcripts of several cDNA clones of B RNA were able to replicate leading to detectable synthesis of viral RNA and proteins. Transcripts of M cDNA clones inoculated together with these B RNA transcripts were also expressed, although the number of protoplasts in which both transcripts were expressed was very low. Preliminary infectivity tests with mutagenized RNA transcripts indicate essential roles of the B RNA-encoded 24K and 32K polypeptides in viral RNA replication.

Abstract
A series of specific deletion mutants derived from a full-length cDNA clone of cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) B RNA was constructed with the aim to study the role of viral proteins in the proteolytic processing of the primary translation products. For the same purpose cDNA clones were constructed having sequences derived from both M and B RNA of CPMV. In vitro transcripts prepared from these clones with T7 RNA polymerase, were efficiently translated in rabbit reticulocyte lysates. The translation products obtained were processed in the lysate by specific proteolytic cleavages into smaller products, which made it possible to study subsequently the effect of the various mutations on this process. The results obtained indicate that the B RNA-encoded 24K polypeptide represents a protease responsible for all cleavages in the polyproteins produced by both CPMV B and M RNA. For efficient cleavage of the glutamine-methionine site in the M RNA encoded polyprotein the presence of a second B RNA encoded protein, the 32K polypeptide, is essential, although the 32K polypeptide itself does not have proteolytic activity. A number of cleavage-site mutants were constructed in which the coding sequence for the glutamine-glycine cleavage site between the two capsid proteins was changed. Subsequent in vitro transcription and translation of these cleavage site mutants show that a correct dipeptide sequence is a prerequisite for efficient cleavage but that the folding of the polypeptide chain also plays an important role in the formation of a cleavage site.

Abstract
Three peptides corresponding to residues 28-40, 138-154 and 380-387 of the coat protein of tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) were synthesized by the solid phase method and used to raise specific antibodies. These antibodies were used to follow the conformational changes that occur when TBSV particles swell under slightly alkaline conditions. Peptides 28-40 and 380-387 were found to correspond to continuous epitopes in the dissociated viral protein as well as in both compact and swollen virions. The region 138-154, which is also a continuous epitope of the monomeric protein, became accessible to antibody binding in the virion only when the particles were in the swollen state.

Abstract
The degree of antigenic relatedness between two plant viruses is commonly expressed by a serological differentiation index (SDI) which corresponds to the average number of two-fold dilution steps separating homologous from heterologous precipitin titers. Results obtained with several tobamo- and tombusviruses indicated that the indirect form of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can also be used for calculating SDI values. This was achieved by comparing the antiserum dilutions that lead to the same absorbance measurements (for instance 1.0) when homologous and heterologous viruses are assayed by ELISA. SDI values calculated from ELISA were similar to those obtained from precipitin tests. Because of its greater sensitivity, ELISA is able to quantify weak cross-reactions that are not detectable by precipitin tests.
