Abstract excerpt
JC polyomavirus (JCV), which infects 90% of the human population, is detectable in human tumors. Its early protein, JCV T-antigen, transforms cells in vitro and is tumorigenic in experimental animals. Although T-antigen-mediated transformation involves genetic alterations of the affected cells, the mechanism underlying this genomic instability is not known. We show that JCV T-antigen inhibits homologous...
