Abstract excerpt
Polyomavirus middle T antigen (MT) interacts with several cellular proteins involved in cell proliferation. MT forms complexes with protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), pp60c-src (and the related kinases c-fyn and c-yes), and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase. We made a single point mutation in MT, changing a conserved cysteine residue at position 120 to tryptophan, and characterized the biochemical and biological...
