Abstract excerpt
The herpes simplex virus transactivator VP16 directs the assembly of a multicomponent protein-DNA complex with cellular components Oct-1 and VCAF-1, contributing a potent carboxyl-terminal acidic activation domain that is essential for activation of gene expression in mammalian cells. We show here that VP16, devoid of this acidic activation domain, functions as a strong transcriptional activator in the yeast...
