The retinoblastoma (Rb) antioncogene encodes a nuclear phosphoprotein, p105-Rb, that forms protein complexes with the adenovirus E1A and SV40 large T oncoproteins. A novel, aberrant Rb protein detected in J82 bladder carcinoma cells was not able to form a complex with E1A and was less stable than p105-Rb. By means of a rapid method for the detection of mutations in Rb mRNA, this defective Rb protein was observed to result from a single point mutation within a splice acceptor sequence in J82 genomic DNA. This mutation eliminates a single exon and 35 amino acids from its encoded protein product.
视网膜母细胞瘤（Rb）抗癌基因编码一种核磷蛋白p105-Rb，它能与腺病毒E1A和SV40大T癌蛋白形成蛋白复合物。在J82膀胱癌细胞中检测到一种新型异常Rb蛋白，它无法与E1A形成复合物，且比p105-Rb更不稳定。通过一种快速检测Rb mRNA突变的方法，观察到这种有缺陷的Rb蛋白是由J82基因组DNA中剪接受体序列内的一个单点突变导致的。该突变从其编码的蛋白质产物中消除了一个外显子和35个氨基酸。
