Dual Retinoblastoma-binding Proteins with Properties Related to a Negative Regulator of Ras in Yeast

Abstract excerpt

The retinoblastoma protein (Rb) interacts with multiple cellular proteins that mediate its cellular function. We have identified nine polypeptides that bind to the T-binding domains of Rb using an Rb affinity resin. RbAp48 and RbAp46 are quantitatively the major Rb-associated proteins purified by this approach. RbAp48 was characterized previously and was found to be related to MSI1, a negative regulator of Ras in...
