HPV-16 E7 Reveals a Link between DNA Replication Stress, Fanconi Anemia D2 Protein, and Alternative Lengthening of Telomere–Associated Promyelocytic Leukemia Bodies

Abstract excerpt

Expression of the high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV-16) E7 oncoprotein extends the life span of primary human keratinocytes and partially restores telomere length in the absence of telomerase. The molecular basis of this activity is incompletely understood. Here, we show that HPV-16 E7 induces an increased formation of alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT)-associated promyelocytic leukemia bodies (APBs) in...
