The amino-terminal 14 amino acids of v-src can functionally replace the extracellular and transmembrane domains of v-erbB.

Abstract excerpt

The retroviral oncogene v-erbB encodes a truncated form of the receptor for epidermal growth factor, an integral membrane protein-tyrosine kinase. By contrast, the oncogene v-src encodes a protein-tyrosine kinase that is a peripheral membrane protein. The morphologies and spectra of cells transformed by these two oncogenes differ. In an effort to identify the functional determinant(s) of these differences, we...
