Human Papillomavirus Type 16 E7 Oncoprotein Binds and Inactivates Growth-Inhibitory Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3
1 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
The E7 protein encoded by human papillomavirus type 16 is one of the few viral genes that can immortalize primary human cells and thereby override cellular senescence. While it is generally assumed that this property of E7 depends on its interaction with regulators of the cell cycle, we show here that E7 targets insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3), the product of a p53-inducible gene that is...
