Abstract excerpt
A critical event in papillomavirus transformation of human cells is the inactivation of pRB by the E7 protein. E7, like many other viral oncoproteins, possesses a well-characterized LXCXE peptide motif that interacts with the pocket domain of pRB. Disruption of the LXCXE-binding cleft on pRB renders it resistant to E7 binding and inactivation. Such binding cleft mutants of pRB are capable of inducing a G(1)...
