Abstract excerpt
The retinoblastoma protein, a 110-kDa nuclear anti-oncoprotein, complexes specifically with transforming proteins of several oncogenic DNA viruses. A peptide [NLFCSEEMPSSDDE] derived from one of the viral proteins (simian virus 40 large T antigen) is known to competitively bind retinoblastoma protein, but a mutant analog [NLFCSKEMPSSDDE] does not. We studied the T peptide with HPLC to determine whether it can...
