Translation of the human papillomavirus type 16 E7 oncoprotein from bicistronic mRNA is independent of splicing events within the E6 open reading frame
1 Nov 1995
Abstract excerpt
In this study we investigated the translational capacities of bicistronic and spliced mRNAs originating from the E6 and E7 regions of the high-risk genital human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) and the low-risk HPV-11. For HPV-16 it was found, unexpectedly, that E7 protein could be translated from full-length bicistronic E6-E7 mRNAs. E6*I and E6*II splicing events were not required for E7 synthesis, nor did...
