Abstract excerpt
Mutationally activated alpha subunits of two G proteins, Gs and Gi2, induce neoplastic transformation of fibroblasts and are found in human tumors. Here we report that mutationally activated alpha subunits of two other G proteins, G12 and G13, induce neoplastic transformation of Rat-1 fibroblasts and NIH3T3 fibroblasts. Constitute activation of these alpha subunits resulted from replacement by leucine of...
