Role of the PDZ Domain-Binding Motif of the Oncoprotein E6 in the Pathogenesis of Human Papillomavirus Type 31
26 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
A number of PDZ domain-containing proteins have been identified as binding partners for the oncoprotein E6 of the high-risk type human papillomaviruses (HPVs). These include hDlg, hScrib, MAGI-1, MAGI-2, MAGI-3, and MUPP1. The PDZ domain-binding motif (-X-T-X-V) at the carboxy terminus of E6 is essential for targeting PDZ proteins for proteasomal degradation. The presence of this motif only in the high-risk HPVs...
