Evidence for direct interaction between the oncogenic proteins E6 and E7 of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV)

Abstract excerpt

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are DNA tumor viruses that infect mucosal and cutaneous epithelial cells of more than 20 vertebrates. High-risk HPV causes about 5% of human cancers worldwide, and the viral proteins E6 and E7 promote carcinogenesis by interacting with tumor suppressors and interfering with many cellular pathways. As a consequence, they immortalize cells more efficiently in concert than individually....
