RESUMO
The int3 oncogene was discovered as a frequent target in mouse mammary tumor virus-induced mammary tumors and encodes the intracellular domain of a Notch4/int3 protein. In one spontaneous mammary tumor, no. 9, that developed in a BALB/c mouse, we have found an insertion of a 1.2-kb sequence, consisting of a 5′ long terminal repeat and gag sequences of an intracisternal type A particle (IAP) as well as an extra copy of the Notch4/int3 genomic sequences containing exons 23 and 24, into the intron between exons 24 and 25 of the Notch4/int3 gene. In this tumor, unique splicing events between the IAP and the Notch4/int3 sequences generated two types of IAP-Notch4/int3 fusion transcripts encoding two different portions of the intracellular domain of Notch4/int3 proteins: one with a RAM domain and the other without. Interestingly, these two proteins showed different subcellular localizations in a mouse mammary epithelial cell line, HC-11.
