T-antigens

T-antigens (tumor antigens) are proteins encoded by DNA tumor viruses that can sequester cellular proteins away from their normal functional locations within the cell. The cellular proteins sequestered by viral T antigens are predominantly tumor suppressor proteins, and the loss of their normal suppressor functions results in cellular transformation.
