Abstract excerpt
The E6 oncoprotein of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) has the potential to functionally antagonize p53. In several experimental model systems, ectopic expression of E6 can block the genotoxic induction of the growth inhibitory p53 target gene gadd45, suggesting that the inactivation of this pathway may play a major role for HPV-associated cell transformation. Here, we investigated whether this reflects the...
