Abstract excerpt
Cervical cancers evolve from lesions generated by genital human papillomaviruses (HPV). "Low-risk" genital HPVs cause benign proliferations whereas "high-risk" types have the potential to progress into cancer. High-risk HPV E6 oncoproteins interact with the ubiquitin ligase E6AP and target several cellular proteins, including p53 and proteins of the MAGI family, towards ubiquitin-mediated degradation. E6AP, like...
