Abstract
The invention features E4orf4-encoding nucleic acids, pharmaceutical compositions and expression vectors containing the same, and methods for their use. E4orf4-encoding nucleic acids include (i) nucleic acids capable of hybridizing at high stringency to the complement of the nucleic acid encoding Ad2E4orf4, and (ii) nucleic acids having 50% or greater nucleotide sequence identity to the nucleotide sequence of Ad2E4orf4, so long as the nucleic acids encode a polypeptide capable of inducing apoptosis.
