Abstract

It has previously been shown that the E7 protein from the cutaneous human papillomavirus type 1 (HPV1), which is associated with benign skin lesions, binds the product of the tumor suppressor gene retinoblastoma (pRb) with an efficiency similar to that of the E7 protein from the oncogenic HPV type 16. Despite this ability, HPV1 E7 does not display any activity in transforming primary cells. In addition, the two viral proteins differ in their mechanisms of targeting pRb. HPV16 E7 promotes pRb destabilization, while cells expressing HPV1 E7 do not show any decrease in pRb levels. In this study, we show that HPV1 E7, in contrast to HPV16 E7, has only a weak activity to neutralize the effect of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16INK4a. By generation of HPV1/16 E7 chimeric proteins, we have identified a central motif in the two E7 proteins, which determines their different abilities to overcome the p16INK4a-mediated cell cycle arrest. This motif is located downstream of the pRb-binding domain and comprises only three amino acids in HPV16 E7. Swapping this central motif in the two viral proteins causes an exchange of their activities involved in circumventing the inhibitory function of p16INK4a. Most importantly, our data show that...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
