A position is open in our lab for a postdoctoral fellow to participate in ongoing studies of the myb oncogene. Altered forms of this gene cause leukemias of various types in animals. The normal gene is highly expressed in immature hematopoietic cells, is down-regulated as these cells mature, and appears likely to control the differentiation process. At least one domain of this gene is highly conserved in green plants and invertebrates as well as among the higher vertebrates. The myb proteins are located in the cell nucleus, bind DNA, and have short half lives. Consistent with these properties, our lab has recently found that the myb proteins can regulate the transcription of unlinked genes. Available projects include ongoing structure-function studies of the v-myb and c-myb gene products, evolutionary conservation of myb-related genes, identification of myb-regulated genes, and control of hematopoietic differentiation by myb-related genes. Experience in molecular biology, biochemistry, and or virology is required. Please send C.V., research interests, and the names of three referees to JLIPSICK via BIONET, or to: Joe Lipsick Dept. of Pathology, M-012 UC San Diego La Jolla, CA 92093 -------
