Abstract excerpt
We have previously identified three regions (called elements) in the DNA-binding domain of simian virus 40 large tumor (T) antigen which are critical for binding of the protein to the recognition pentanucleotides GAGGC at the viral replication origin. These are elements A (residues 147 to 159), B1 (185 to 187), and B2 (203 to 207). In this study, we generated mutants of simian virus 40 in order to make...
