Human papillomavirus (HPV) is strongly implicated as a causative agent in the etiology of cervical cancer. Of its gene products, E6 binds to and inactivates p53 tumor suppressor protein by ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent degradation. Recently, p73, a novel family of p53, has been identified and demonstrated, like p53, to activate p21(WAF1). Here we show that p73 is also inactivated by HPV-E6, but...
