Abstract excerpt
The oncogenic proteins encoded by papovaviruses, the tumor antigens, have been extensively used as model systems to study mitogenic signaling and cell transformation. These proteins stimulate cell growth in cultured cells and induce tumors in virus infected or transgenic animals. One of these proteins, polyomavirus middle-T, acts like a constitutively activated tyrosine growth factor receptor. Middle-T recruits...
