Human Cytomegalovirus Immediate-Early Protein IE2 Tethers a Transcriptional Repression Domain to p53
1 Feb 1996
Abstract excerpt
The IE2 gene of human cytomegalovirus has been implicated in the development of coronary restenosis, and the gene product appears to inhibit p53-dependent transactivation. Here we describe an analysis of the IE2-p53 interaction. Repression of p53 function by IE2 requires two separable domains of IE2. The N terminus of IE2 interacts with p53. IE2 has little effect on the ability of p53 to bind specific DNA...
