Human papillomavirus 16 E7 inactivator of retinoblastoma family proteins complements human cytomegalovirus lacking UL97 protein kinase
16 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
Several different families of DNA viruses encode proteins that inactivate the cellular retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (pRb), which normally functions to bind E2F transcription factors and restrict expression of genes necessary for cellular processes including DNA replication. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL97, a protein kinase functionally orthologous to cellular cyclin-dependent kinases, phosphorylates...
