Inhibition of Serum- and Calcium-Induced Differentiation of Human Keratinocytes by HPV16 E6 Oncoprotein: Role of p53 Inactivation
1 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
We have recently shown that human papillomavirus (HPV16) E6 oncoprotein exhibits two separate biological activities in genital keratinocytes (PHKs). E6 protein by itself is capable of inducing colonies of proliferating cells resistant to serum and calcium-induced differentiation, whereas both E6 and E7 are required for immortalization of PHK. Using epitope-tagged E6 carboxy-terminal truncation mutants, we mapped...
