Cutaneous Papillomavirus E6 Proteins Must Interact with p300 and Block p53-Mediated Apoptosis for Cellular Immortalization and Tumorigenesis
27 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
The binding of the papillomavirus E6 protein to E6AP and the induction of p53 degradation are common features of high-risk genital human papillomaviruses (HPV); cutaneous HPVs, on the other hand, lack these capacities. Nevertheless, several cutaneous HPV types of the beta-genus, such as HPV38 are associated with tumor formation when combined with genetic predisposition, immunosuppression, or UV exposure. In an...
