Interaction of the human papillomavirus type 16 E6 oncoprotein with wild-type and mutant human p53 proteins
1 Aug 1992
Abstract excerpt
The E6 oncoproteins encoded by the cancer-associated human papillomaviruses (HPVs) can associate with and promote the degradation of wild-type p53 in vitro. To gain further insight into this process, the ability of HPV-16 E6 to complex with and promote the degradation of mutant forms of p53 was studied. A correlation between binding and the targeted degradation of p53 was established. Mutant p53 proteins that...
