Abstract excerpt
The E6 and E7 proteins of human papillomaviruses (HPV) play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of malignant tumors. E6 protein of high-risk mucosal papillomaviruses targets a number of proteins for proteosomal degradation through complex formation with ubiquitin ligase E6AP. These proteins include, amongst others, p53, paxillin and PDZ-domain proteins e.g. Dlg and MAGUK. The mechanism by which the E6 protein of...
