Abstract excerpt
We identified the transcriptional coactivator FHL2 as a novel target of the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) E7 oncoprotein, which plays a major role in cell transformation. The interaction with FHL2 is abolished by mutations in conserved regions 1 and 2 and in the C-terminal zinc finger domain of E7, all required for its transforming potential. We found that E7 impairs the coactivator function of FHL2 on...
