Mutational analysis of ERCC3, which is involved in DNA repair and transcription initiation: identification of domains essential for the DNA repair function.

abstract：:The human T-cell leukemia virus-encoded oncoprotein Tax is a potent activator of viral transcription. Tax function is strictly dependent upon the cellular transcription factor CREB, and together they bind cAMP response elements within the viral promoter and mediate high-level viral transcription. Signal-dependent CREB...
