Abstract excerpt
Complexes containing adenovirus E4orf6 and E1B55K proteins play critical roles in productive infection. Both proteins interact directly with the cellular tumor suppressor p53, and in combination they promote its rapid degradation. To examine the mechanism of this process, degradation of exogenously expressed p53 was analyzed in p53-null human cells infected with adenovirus vectors encoding E4orf6 and/or E1B55K....
