Abstract
We have previously shown that the leader peptide (p14) of the Env-precursor of mouse mammary tumor virus is translocated into the nucleoli of murine T cell lymphomas that harbor this virus. Using a polyclonal antibody against recombinant p14, we show here that p14 is also localized to the nucleoli of murine mammary carcinomas and some human breast cancer samples. Affinity purification studies define a number of proteins, mostly nucleolar, that bind p14. Taken together, these findings point towards a more general involvement of p14 in lymphomagenesis and mammary carcinogenesis.
