The carboxy terminus of simian virus 40 large T antigen is required to disrupt the yeast cell cycle

J Virol. 2002 May;76(9):4621-4. doi: 10.1128/jvi.76.9.4621-4624.2002.

Abstract

Wild-type and J domain mutant simian virus 40 large T antigens alter the cell cycle and bud morphology of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In contrast, yeast cells expressing mutant T antigen lacking the carboxy-terminal 150 aa exhibit normal morphology, indicating that this region of T antigen is required for cell cycle disruption.
