Abstract excerpt
The E5 protein from bovine papillomavirus is a type II membrane protein and the product of the smallest known oncogene. E5 causes cell transformation by binding and activating the platelet-derived growth factor beta receptor (PDGFbetaR). In order to productively interact with the receptor, it is thought that E5 binds as a dimer. However, wild-type E5 and various mutants have also been shown to form trimers,...
