Abstract excerpt
The activity of the p53 tumor suppressor protein is regulated, at least in part, through the stability of the protein. p53 degradation in normal cells is controlled by ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis, and activation of p53 following DNA damage is associated with an increase in the stability of the protein. The human papillomavirus-encoded E6 protein abrogates p53 function by targeting it for rapid degradation,...
