Abstract excerpt
The DNA-binding domain of simian virus 40 tumor antigen has been previously shown to participate in a number of different activities. Besides being involved in binding to sequences at the viral replication origin, this domain appears to be required for nonspecific DNA binding, for structurally distorting origin DNA (melting and untwisting), and possibly for oligomerization of the protein into hexamers and double...
