Abstract excerpt
The transforming protein P68gag-ros of avian sarcoma virus UR2 is a transmembrane tyrosine protein kinase molecule with the gag portion protruding extracellularly. To investigate the role of the gag moiety in the biochemical properties and biological functions of the P68gag-ros fusion protein, retroviruses containing the ros coding sequence of UR2 were constructed and analyzed. The gag-free ros protein was...
