Abstract excerpt
The transcriptional trans-activator molecule of HTLV-I, Tax, is known to transform rodent fibroblasts. A revertant clone expressing Tax was obtained by treating transformed Rat-I cells harboring a single copy of the tax gene with a mutagen. Sequence analysis of the tax gene of the revertant clone revealed that it had one point mutation at codon 12(CTT----TTT), resulting in a change from Leu to Phe. The...
