Abstract excerpt
We have previously identified in human T-leukemia cells a myc gene with an unusual 3' rearrangement, and we have shown that expression of the gene is deregulated by stabilization of mRNA. Here we report that the rearranged gene transforms established rat fibroblasts to a tumorigenic phenotype. In hybrid genes, the transforming capability segregates with the 3' rearrangement. Transformation is apparently due to a...
