Human Papillomavirus Type 16 E7 Binds to E2F1 and Activates E2F1-driven Transcription in a Retinoblastoma Protein-independent Manner
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
The human papillomavirus (HPV) E7 oncoprotein can immortalize primary human cells and induce tumor formation. These properties of E7 depend on its ability to inhibit the activity of retinoblastoma protein (pRB), which in turn affects E2F function. E2F proteins control the expression of genes involved in differentiation, development, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. By using genetic and biochemical approaches,...
