Human Papillomavirus Type 16 E6 Promotes Retinoblastoma Protein Phosphorylation and Cell Cycle Progression
24 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
We show that E6 proteins from benign human papillomavirus type 1 (HPV1) and oncogenic HPV16 have the ability to alter the regulation of the G(1)/S transition of the cell cycle in primary human fibroblasts. Overexpression of both viral proteins induces cellular proliferation, retinoblastoma (pRb) phosphorylation, and accumulation of products of genes that are negatively regulated by pRb, such as p16(INK4a), CDC2,...
