Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have demonstrated that the HPV-16 E7 gene product encodes the major transforming activity of the virus in rodent cell systems. In this study we have generated a series of point mutations affecting the region of HPV-16 E7, which shows homology to adenovirus E1a conserved domain (CD)1. In conjunction with previously described mutants in the region of E7 with similarity to E1a CD2 and SV40 LT, we...
