Abstract excerpt
Gap junctions are channels that connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells. Oncogenes such as the middle Tumor antigen of polyoma virus (mT) are known to suppress gap junctional, intercellular communication (GJIC). mT associates with and is tyrosine-phosphorylated by cSrc family members. Specific mT phosphotyrosines provide docking sites for the phosphotyrosine binding domain of Shc (mT-tyr250) or the SH2 domain of...
