Abstract excerpt
The posttranslational maturation and cell surface localization of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) envelope glycoproteins is regulated by glucocorticoid hormone in mouse T-lymphoma cell line W7MG1. Only when the cells are cultured with glucocorticoid is the MMTV envelope precursor, Pr74, converted efficiently to the two mature proteolytic products, gp52 and gp33. By immunological selection we have isolated...
