Characterization of the Chromosomal Binding Sites andDimerization Partners of the Viral Oncoprotein Meq in Marek'sDisease Virus-Transformed TCells
10 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
Marek's disease virus (MDV) is an acute transforming alphaherpesvirus that causes T-cell lymphomas in chickens. We previously reported the identification of a putative oncogene, meq, that is encoded only by the oncogenic serotype of MDV. The gene product, Meq, is a latent protein that is consistently expressed in MDV-transformed lymphoblastoid cells and tumor cells. Meq has a bZIP (basic leucine zipper) structure...
