Abstract excerpt
The human DEK proto-oncogene is a nucleic acid binding protein with suspected roles in human carcinogenesis, autoimmune disease, and viral infection. Intracellular DEK functions, however, are poorly understood. In papillomavirus-positive cervical cancer cells, downregulation of viral E6/E7 oncogene expression results in cellular senescence. We report here the specific repression of DEK message and protein levels...
