Abstract excerpt
Simian virus 40 large T antigen contains an amino terminal J domain that catalyzes T antigen-mediated viral DNA replication and cellular transformation. To dissect the role of the J domain in these processes, we exploited the genetic tools available only in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to isolate 14 loss-of-function point mutations in the T antigen J domain. This screen also identified mutations that, when...
