Binding of human papillomavirus type 16 E6 to E6AP is not required for activation of hTERT.
The human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 (HPV16) E6 protein stimulates transcription of the catalytic subunit of telomerase, hTERT, in epithelial cells. It has been reported that binding to the ubiquitin ligase E6AP is required for this E6 activity, with E6 directing E6AP to the hTERT promoter. We previously reported two E6AP binding-defective HPV16 E6 mutations that induced immortalization of hu...
متن کاملp53 inactivation by HPV16 E6 results in increased mutagenesis in human cells.
To study the pathways associated with genomic instability in cancer, we examined UV-induced and spontaneous mutagenesis in clonal cell lines expressing human papillomavirus (HPV) proteins, either high-risk (HPV16) E6 or E7 or low-risk (HPV11) E6, in comparison to the parental RKO cells, a colon carcinoma cell line expressing only normal p53. High-risk E6 and E7 bind and functionally inactivate ...
متن کاملThe E6AP Binding Pocket of the HPV16 E6 Oncoprotein Provides a Docking Site for a Small Inhibitory Peptide Unrelated to E6AP, Indicating Druggability of E6
The HPV E6 oncoprotein maintains the malignant phenotype of HPV-positive cancer cells and represents an attractive therapeutic target. E6 forms a complex with the cellular E6AP ubiquitin ligase, ultimately leading to p53 degradation. The recently elucidated x-ray structure of a HPV16 E6/E6AP complex showed that HPV16 E6 forms a distinct binding pocket for E6AP. This discovery raises the questio...
متن کاملhTERT promoter activity identifies osteosarcoma cells with increased EMT characteristics
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical step in order for epithelial-derived malignancies to metastasize, however, its role in mesenchymal-derived tumors, i.e., osteosarcoma, remains unclear. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are enriched with cells that undergo EMT. The activity of telomerase is maintained in normal stem cells and a number of malignant tumors. The current study observed t...
متن کاملE6AP-dependent degradation of DLG4/PSD95 by high-risk human papillomavirus type 18 E6 protein.
In most cervical cancers, DNAs of high-risk mucosotropic human papillomaviruses (HPVs), such as types 16 and 18, are maintained so as to express two viral proteins, E6 and E7, suggesting that they play important roles in carcinogenesis. The carboxy-terminal PDZ domain-binding motif of the E6 proteins is in fact essential for transformation of rodent cells and induction of hyperplasia in E6-tran...
