epitope corresponding to amino acids 471-598 of FKHR of human origin
Modification Notes
FKHR (for forkhead in rhabdomyosarcoma) and FKHRL1 are members of the forkhead family of transcription factors. Transcriptional activation of FKHR proteins is regulated by the serine/threonine kinase Akt1, which phosphorylates FKHRL1 and results in FKHRL1 associating with 14-3-3 proteins and being retained in the cytoplasm. Induction of apoptosis or withdrawal of growth factors stimulates dephosphorylation and nuclear translocation of FKHR proteins, leading to FKHR-induced gene-specific transcriptional activation. FKHR, also designated forkhead box protein O1A (FOXO1), is a ubiquitously expressed protein that shuttles between the cytoplasm and nucleus. Genetic mutations in FKHR genes, including the t(2;13) and t(1;3) translocations, are commonly found in alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas. These translocations result in the fusion of the amino terminus of Pax-3 or Pax-7, including the paired box and homeodomain DNA-binding domains, with the carboxy-terminus of FKHR, which contains a transcriptional activation domain. The Pax-3/FKHR fusion protein appears to function as an oncogenic transcription factor that enhances the activation of normal Pax-3 target genes.
