The Adenovirus E4orf4 Protein Induces G <sub>2</sub> /M Arrest and Cell Death by Blocking Protein Phosphatase 2A Activity Regulated by the B55 Subunit
18 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
Human adenovirus E4orf4 protein is toxic in human tumor cells. Its interaction with the B alpha subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is critical for cell killing; however, the effect of E4orf4 binding is not known. B alpha is one of several mammalian B-type regulatory subunits that form PP2A holoenzymes with A and C subunits. Here we show that E4orf4 protein interacts uniquely with B55 family subunits and...
