Retroviruses may transform cells in more than one way. From the figure given below, explain the two ways by which cells are transformed. You have the purified protein overexpressed in the cell. How will you determine which pathway of expression is occurring in the cell? Promoter v-onc Retroviral DNA - Retroviral DNA Retroviral Proto- Proto- promoter oncogene V-onc oncogene Host cell DNA Host cell DNA Excessive expression Expression C-onc MRNA v-onc MRNA Abnormal protein (hyperactive) Protein product Abnormal cell growth
