Human Cytomegalovirus pp71 Stimulates Cell Cycle Progression by Inducing the Proteasome-Dependent Degradation of the Retinoblastoma Family of Tumor Suppressors
28 Feb 2003
Abstract excerpt
The oncoproteins of the DNA tumor viruses, adenovirus E1A, simian virus 40 T antigen, and papillomavirus E7, each interact with the retinoblastoma family of tumor suppressors, leading to cell cycle stimulation, apoptosis induction, and cellular transformation. These proteins utilize a conserved LXCXE motif, which is also found in cellular proteins, to target the retinoblastoma family. Here, we describe a...
