Growth Inhibition of HeLa Cells Is a Conserved Feature of High-Risk Human Papillomavirus E8^E2C Proteins and Can Also Be Achieved by an Artificial Repressor Protein
30 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
Infections with certain human papillomaviruses (HPV), such as type 16 (HPV16), 18, or 31, are a necessary risk factor for the development of cervical cancer. Transcript analyses of several HPV revealed that the viral E2 gene encodes both the E2 regulator protein and the E8∧E2C protein, which differ in their amino termini. Up to now, functional studies have focused on HPV31 E8∧E2C and demonstrated that it is a...
