The Human Papillomavirus Type 16 E7 Protein Binds Human Interferon Regulatory Factor-9 via a Novel PEST Domain Required for Transformation
26 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
It is critical that viruses are able to avoid the antiviral activities of interferon (IFN). We have shown previously that the human papillomavirus (HPV) is able to avoid IFN-alpha via interaction of the HPV-16 E7 protein with IFN regulatory factor-9 (IRF-9). Here, we investigated the details of the interaction using HPV-16 E7 peptide mapping to show that IRF-9 binds HPV-16 E7 in a domain encompassing amino acids...
