生化／生理作用
WT-1, the product of Wilms′ tumor suppressor gene Wt1, is a nuclear protein with structural motifs characteristic of transcription factors, including four C-terminal zinc fingers. While different pre-mRNA processing could result in 16 isoforms of the protein, the inclusion or exclusion of exon 5 and three amino acids (KTS) between zinc fingers 3 and 4 largely affects the activity of the WT1 protein. Such a complex post-transcriptional regulation, particularly in splicing, may represent a major regulatory mechanism for tumorigenesis of the Wilms′ tumor. With the inclusion of exon 5, WT1 (KTS+) binds to both DNA and RNA and is RNase but not DNase sensitive. This form also co-localizes with splicing factors in a speckled nuclear particle, suggesting that the WT1 protein may function as both a transcription factor and a splicing regulator.

In humans, germline mutations of the WT-1 tumor suppressor gene are associated with both Wilms' tumors and urogenital malformations. To develop a model system for the molecular analysis of urogenital development, we introduced a mutation into the murine WT-1 tumor

The chromosome 11p13 Wilms tumor susceptibility gene WT1 appears to play a crucial role in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of nephroblasts and gonadal tissue. The WT1 gene consists of 10 exons, encoding a complex pattern of mRNA species: four

WT1 is a tumor suppressor gene with a key role in urogenital development and the pathogenesis of Wilms' tumor. Two alternative splice sites in the WT1 transcript allow the gene to encode four proteins. These carry four Krüppel-type zinc fingers
