Abstract excerpt
BRCA1 is a breast and ovarian cancer-related tumor suppressor and has a role in transcriptional activation. We show here that BRCA1 enhances human papillomavirus type 18 (HPV-18) E2-dependent transcription in vivo. Using biochemical approaches, we discovered that BRCA1 interacts with the carboxyl-terminus of HPV-18 E2 protein in vivo and in vitro. Point mutations in the C-terminus make BRCA1 defective in...
