Abstract excerpt
In epithelial tumors, oncoprotein E6 binds with the ubiquitin ligase E6AP to form E6/E6AP heterodimer; then this heterodimer recruits p53 to form E6/E6AP/p53 heterotrimer and induces p53 degradation. Recent experiments demonstrated that three E6 single-site mutants (F47R, R102A, and L50E) can inhibit the E6/E6AP/p53 heterotrimer formation and rescue p53 from the degradation pathway. However, the molecular...
