Association between an oncogene and an anti-oncogene: the adenovirus E1A proteins bind to the retinoblastoma gene product
Nature, 1988•nature.com
One of the cellular targets implicated in the process of transformation by the adenovirus E1A
proteins is a 105K cellular protein. Previously, this protein had been shown to form stable
protein/protein complexes with the E1A polypeptides but its identity was unknown. Here, we
demonstrate that it is the product of the retinoblastoma gene. The interaction between E1A
and the retinoblastoma gene product is the first demonstration of a physical link between an
oncogene and an anti-oncogene.

Abstract
One of the cellular targets implicated in the process of transformation by the adenovirus E1A proteins is a 105K cellular protein. Previously, this protein had been shown to form stable protein/protein complexes with the E1A polypeptides but its identity was unknown. Here, we demonstrate that it is the product of the retinoblastoma gene. The interaction between E1A and the retinoblastoma gene product is the first demonstration of a physical link between an oncogene and an anti-oncogene.
