Abstract excerpt
The CT3 cytoplasmic localization mutant of SV40 T antigen is neither properly transported to the nucleus nor is it functional in rodent cells. Human precrisis cells are able to complement this mutation, as they are fully transformed by CT3 with wild-type efficiency. The human-specific factors responsible for this species-specific difference in response to CT3 were localized to human chromosome 6 by synteny in a...
