Many different papillomaviruses have low transcriptional activity in spite of strong epithelial specific enhancers.
1 Jul 1999
Abstract excerpt
Transcription of the E6-E7 genes of human papillomavirus type 11 (HPV-11), HPV-16 and HPV-18 is specific to epithelial cells. This mechanism originates from synergism between different transcription factors such as AP-1, NFI and Sp1, which occur in many different cell types, but whose activity is biased in favour of epithelial cells. In this study, the transcriptional regulation of 14 different papillomavirus...
