Cell lines from a myeloid, an erythroid, and two lymphoid leukemias, were tested for the production of the inducer required for the formation of macrophage and granulocyte colonies. It was shown that the inducer was produced by all lines except one of the lymphoid leukemias.

Abstract
It has previously been shown that there are different molecular forms of macrophage‐ and granulocyte‐inducing (MGI) proteins; one form, MGI‐I, induced the formation of colonies with differentiated cells from normal myeloblasts and another form, MGI‐2, induced normal differentiation in MGI^+^D^+^ leukemic myeloblasts that no longer require MGI‐I to form colonies. The present results indicate that MGI‐2 can also induce differentiation (without inducing colony formation) in the normal cells, and that MGI‐I induced MIG‐2 in the normal but not in the leukemic cells. It is suggested from these results that MGI‐2 is the differentiation‐inducing protein for normal and leukemic cells whereas MGI‐I is the growth‐inducing protein that induces colony formation by the normal cells, and that induction of differentiation in the normal cell colonies is due to induction of MGI‐2 by MGI‐I.

## Abstract We describe a mechanism for reversible regulation of gene transcription, mediated by a family of tumor‐suppressor proteins (TSP) containing a DNA‐binding domain (DBD) that binds to a gene and represses transcription, and RNA‐binding domains (RBDs) that bind RNA, usually a noncoding RNA
