Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that the adenovirus E1A oncoprotein can bind to and inactivate the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (pRb) and the transcriptional coactivators CBP/p300. In this study, wild-type E1A12S or two deletion mutants (delN, which binds pRb but not CBP/p300; delCR2, which binds to CBP/p300 but not pRb) were linked to the lens-specific alphaA-crystallin promoter, and used to generate...
