Regulation of expression of the human β-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase II gene (MGAT2) by Ets transcription factors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Oncogenic transformation of fibroblasts by the src oncogene has long been known to cause an increase in the size of cell-surface protein-bound oligosaccharides, owing primarily to increased N-glycan branching mediated by increased β-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (GnT V) activity. The src-responsive element of the GnT V promoter was localized to Ets-binding sites and the promoter was transcriptionally stimulated by both ets-1 and ets-2 expression [Buckhaults, Chen, Fregien and Pierce (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 19575-19581; Kang, Saito, Ihara, Miyoshi, Koyama, Sheng and Taniguchi (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 26706-26712]. Because GnT V action requires the prior action of β-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase II (GnT II) and the human GnT II promoter contains four putative Ets-binding sites [Chen, Zhou, Tan and Schachter (1998) Glycoconj. J. 15, 301-308], GnT II might also be under oncogenic control via Ets transcription factors. We now report that co-transfection into HepG2 or COS-1 cells of either ets-1 or ets-2 expression plasmids together with chimaeric GnT II promoter-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase plasmids results in a 2-4-fold stimulation of promoter activity. Mobility-shift assays and South-Western blots localized the functional Ets-binding site to one of the four putative sites on the GnT II promoter. The GnT II promoter, unlike the GnT V promoter, is not activated by either src or neu. Therefore although both promoters are stimulated by a member of the Ets family of transcription factors, the functional role of this Ets transcriptional control seems to be different for the two genes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
