Abstract excerpt
Simian virus 40 T antigen is specifically targeted to the nucleus by the signal Pro-Lys-Lys-128-Lys-Arg-Lys-Val. We have previously described the isolation of a simian virus 40 T-antigen mutant, 676FS, which retains a wild-type nuclear localization signal but fails to accumulate properly in the nucleus and interferes with the nuclear localization of heterologous proteins. Here we report that the hydrophobic...
