Abstract excerpt
E6-mediated degradation of p53 is believed to play a role in the transformation of cells by high-risk types of human papillomavirus. In order to explore the structural requirements for targeting of p53 we have compared E6-mediated degradation of variant p53 forms expressed in vitro. Complete degradation was observed in samples containing monomers, dimers and higher molecular weight structures of wild-type p53,...
