NFX1-123 Increases hTERT Expression and Telomerase Activity Posttranscriptionally in Human Papillomavirus Type 16 E6 Keratinocytes
16 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 protein induces telomerase activity through transcriptional activation of hTERT, the catalytic subunit of telomerase. HPV type 16 (HPV16) E6 interacts with two splice variants of NFX1 to increase hTERT expression. NFX1-91 is a transcriptional repressor of hTERT that is polyubiquitinated and targeted for degradation by HPV16 E6 in concert with E6-associated protein. We...
