Human papillomavirus type 11 and 16 E5 represses p21(WafI/SdiI/CipI) gene expression in fibroblasts and keratinocytes
1 Nov 1996
Abstract excerpt
Here we report that the E5 proteins of human papillomavirus type 11 (HPV-11) and HPV-16 suppressed the expression of the p21(WafI/SdiI/CipI) tumor suppressor gene in NIH 3T3 cells and immortalized human keratinocytes. The promoter activity of p21 was repressed by E5 of HPV-11 and -16, suggesting that p21 gene suppression by E5 was at the transcriptional level. Using an inducible system, we demonstrated that...
