Mapping of functional domains within the v-erb A oncogene protein: the remnants of the hormone binding domain play multiple, vital roles in protein action.

Abstract excerpt
The v-erb A oncogene represents a virally-transduced variant of a thyroid hormone receptor. Biochemical characterization of a series of mutant v-erb A proteins demonstrates that nuclear localization and DNA binding are both necessary for v-erb A function in the neoplastic cell and are mediated by multiple, overlapping domains within the v-erb A polypeptide. Domains of the v-erb A protein necessary for...
