Cytoplasmic Poly(A) Binding Proteins Regulate Telomerase Activity and Cell Growth in Human Papillomavirus Type 16 E6-Expressing Keratinocytes
14 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
The high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 and E7 oncoproteins are critical to the immortalization of keratinocytes. HPV type 16 (HPV16) E6 interacts with endogenous proteins to activate hTERT, the catalytic subunit of telomerase, thus avoiding cellular senescence signals. NFX1-123, the longer splice variant of NFX1, interacts with HPV16 E6, as well as cytoplasmic poly(A) binding proteins 1 and 4 (PABPC1 and...
