Regulation of Human Papillomavirus Type 16 E7 Activity through Direct Protein Interaction with the E2 Transcriptional Activator
26 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
In order to ensure a productive life cycle, human papillomaviruses (HPVs) require fine regulation of their gene products. Uncontrolled activity of the viral oncoproteins E6 and E7 results in the immortalization of the infected epithelial cells and thus prevents the production of mature virions. Ectopically expressed E2 has been shown to suppress transcription of the HPV E6 and E7 region in cell lines where the...
