  • Title: The avian erythroblastosis virus erbA oncogene encodes a DNA-binding protein exhibiting distinct nuclear and cytoplasmic subcellular localizations.
    Author: Boucher P, Koning A, Privalsky ML.
    Journal: J Virol; 1988 Feb; 62(2):534-44. PubMed ID: 2826814.
    Abstract:
    The protein product of the v-erbA oncogene of avian erythroblastosis virus was analyzed by use of site-specific antisera. The v-erbA protein was found to exist in distinct nuclear and cytoplasmic forms. Both nuclear and cytoplasmic species of the v-erbA protein were capable of binding to DNA, a property predicted based on the structural relatedness the v-erbA polypeptide shares with the thyroid and steroid hormone receptors. A mutation within the v-erbA coding region which inhibited DNA binding and nuclear localization also inhibited the ability of the v-erbA protein to potentiate erythroid transformation, consistent with a model of the v-erbA protein as a transcriptional regulator.
