abstract：:The strong transactivation activity of the C-terminal half (amino acids 76-152) of Nm23 was reported previously. Here we examined a structural domain preventing or necessary to its transactivation activity. The C-terminal 1/4 (amino acids 109-152) was sufficient for transactivation, but the C-terminal half with a long...
