Induction of apoptosis by adenovirus E4orf4 protein is specific to transformed cells and requires an interaction with protein phosphatase 2A
31 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
We previously have shown that adenovirus type 5 E4orf4 protein associates with protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and induces apoptosis in transformed cells in a p53-independent manner. Here we show that the interaction between E4orf4 and PP2A is required for induction of apoptosis by the viral protein. This conclusion is supported by a mutation analysis of E4orf4 protein, showing a correlation between the ability to...
