v-erbA acts on retinoic acid receptors in immature avian erythroid cells.

Sande, S, Sharif, M, Chen, H, Privalsky, M

The v-erbA oncogene of avian erythroblastosis virus (AEV) encodes an aberrant version of a gene for a thyroid hormone receptor (c-erbA) and functions in neoplasia by blocking erythroid...

Ontogeny of the v-erbA oncoprotein from the thyroid hormone receptor: an alteration in the DNA binding domain plays a role crucial for v-erbA function.

Bonde, B G, Sharif, M, Privalsky, M L

The avian erythroblastosis virus v-erbA oncogene is imprecisely derived from a cellular gene (c-erbA) encoding a thyroid hormone receptor: the v-erbA protein has sustained both small terminal...

Nuclear hormone receptors involved in neoplasia: erb A exhibits a novel DNA sequence specificity determined by amino acids outside of the zinc-finger domain.

Chen, H, Smit-McBride, Z, Lewis, S, Sharif, M, Privalsky, M L

The erb A oncogene is a dominant negative allele of a thyroid hormone receptor gene and acts in the cancer cell by encoding a transcriptional repressor. We demonstrate here that the DNA sequence...
