Human Papillomavirus Type 16 E1 ∧ E4-Induced G 2 Arrest Is Associated with Cytoplasmic Retention of Active Cdk1/Cyclin B1 Complexes
15 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) can cause cervical cancer. Expression of the viral E1 E4 protein is lost during malignant progression, but in premalignant lesions, E1 E4 is abundant in cells supporting viral DNA amplification. Expression of 16E1 E4 in cell culture causes G2 cell cycle arrest. Here we show that unlike many other G2 arrest mechanisms, 16E1 E4 does not inhibit the kinase activity of the...
