Abstract excerpt
In contrast to the normal thyroid hormone receptor, the v-erbA product fails to bind hormone due to mutations in the C-terminal ligand binding domain and thus appears to represent a hormone-independent, oncogenic transcription factor. Therefore, we asked whether or not the C-terminal domain of v-erbA is required for its biological activity and putative transcriptional control functions by analysing mutants with...
