The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) E6* Proteins from High-Risk, Mucosal HPVs Can Direct Degradation of Cellular Proteins in the Absence of Full-Length E6 Protein
30 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
The E6 oncoproteins from high-risk mucosotrophic human papillomaviruses (HPVs) target a range of cellular proteins for proteasome-mediated degradation. Apart from the tumor suppressor p53 and proapoptotic Bcl-2 family member Bak, many targets contain class 1 PDZ domains and are involved in cell junction stability and signaling. The targeting mechanism is considered to function by the E6 protein acting as an...
