Abstract excerpt
Inhibition of p53 function is a common feature of many DNA tumour viruses. Human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 proteins from the oncogenic HPVs inhibit p53 function either by blocking its ability to bind DNA or by labelling newly synthesised p53 as a target for ubiquitin mediated degradation. In this study we have investigated the role of the degradation function of E6 with respect to p53 function. Using a panel of...
